THE EXTRA INGREDIENTS (ADD AFTER THE BATTER IS BLENDED, AND ADD DIRECTLY INTO THE MUFFIN CUPS)
- 4 eggs (you can substitute with egg whites only for a lower calorie / lower fat edition, or half whole eggs, half egg whites)
- 2 large bananas (use ripe for a sweeter taste)
- 80 grams of low fat cottage cheese (You can substitute it with milk of yogurt of your choice)

- 25 grams of coconut flour or flakes

If you experience that the muffin batter is to thin, you can add more oats. If the batter is to thick, you can add water or milk,
HOW TO:
- Heat up your oven at 180C / 355F (200 & 375 the last 5 minutes of the bake time)
- Blend all the ingredients (besides the protein bar, berries and almonds)
- Bake the muffins until golden for around 15 minutes, and use a fork to check if they are done. As soon as the batter is not sticking to the fork, they are done.
- Serve either warm or cold
TIP: You can bake a larger portion and store them in the fridge or freezer for your busy days. They are great as a fulfilling breakfast or as an easy in-between meal or snack.
