Good morning!!! The sun is shining here in Boston! Yay! Love it!
I was planning to veg out last night, but, as Mal’s dad would say, “grass doesn’t grow under my feet,” and I ended up experimenting in the kitchen instead. The end result was a wonderful pre-gym/post-gym snack. My baking experiment produced 7 Oatmeal Raisin Protein Mini Muffins, which are a sweet mix of healthy carbs and low-fat protein. Recipe below.

Yum!! Those muffins look so cute.
Happy Hump Day!
I’ve been hooked on making breakfasts other than nutrition bars, and yours? they look absolutely fabulous!
yum! i will have to make those soon!
also, i don’t know what’s wrong with me, but i always have to try sending my posts like 2 or 3 times because i can never figure out what the word verification is!!! wtf?
Anne,
Haha! That happens to me too! They make the letters look so weird that I can barely decipher them!

yumm, love your muffin creation!!
Than you so much for posting the recipes. I can not wait to go home and try this new one. The rise and shine cookies you posted at the beginning of the month were amazing and I am sure these are just as yummy!
The mixture looks a little liquidy although it seems to cook up fine! Maybe if you blended the oats (or half of them) to get more of a flour? Either way, they look like a great pre- or post-workout snack and very low in sugar which is nice. I have a recipe for some great No Bake Protein Bars you might like too. They’re really tasty!
How many calories and carbs are these and protein and so on? I keep track of all I eat in a day, I would like to make them.
@anita: I’m sorry, but I don’t know. You can enter the ingredients into calorieking.com and divide by 7 to get an estimate.
Thanks for the reply but that would be alot of work not sure how that would work out as each ingredient has different calorie and carb amounts etc.
What is the calorie/carb/protein content of these? Just wondering… They look fabulous!!
The muffins look wonderful, I was just wondering if you can tell me cal carb and protein content. Wonderful looking blog!!!! I love the carrot cake blogroll cupcake!!!!
