I usually double the recipe in order to use a whole apple (and 2 medium-ish carrots). If you don't have protein powder (available in the bulk section of most grocery and/or health food stores), then use 3/4 c. whole wheat flour, 1/2 cup wheat bran, and 1/4 cup all-purpose flour. Try them with nuts or raisins or even dried cranberries for an autumn taste treat.
Ingredients:
3/4 cup 1% low-fat milk
1/2 cup maple syrup
2 egg whites
1 tablespoon canola oil
1/2 cup grated tart apple
1/2 cup shredded carrot
1/2 cup protein powder
1/2 cup whole wheat flour
1/4 cup wheat bran
1/4 cup all-purpose flour
3 tablespoons sugar
1 teaspoon baking powder
1 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1/8 teaspoon nutmeg
1/8 teaspoon allspice
Directions:
1. Preheat oven to 375.
2. In a large bowl, beat the milk, syrup, egg whites, and oil until smooth. Stir in apple and carrot.
3. Combine the dry ingredients; stir into milk mixture just until moistened.
4. Coat muffin cups with cooking spray; fill two-thirds full.
5. Bake for 18-20 minutes or until a toothpick comes out clean.
6. Cool for 5 minutes before removing from pan to a wire rack.
