So I've been promising these recipes for a while now. I have about 3 so get ready for some yummy, easy things to make in your kitchen this week!



First one is Carrot Cake Protein Bars:
Spray 8x8 pan
1C oat flour
2 Scoops Protein Powder
1/4 tsp salt
1/2 tsp baking soda
2 tsp cinnamon
1/2 tsp nutmeg
3 egg whites
3/4 C natural sugar
(mix egg whites and sugar together first until foamy)
1/2 C ricotta cheese
2 jars baby food carrots (get low sugar)

Add dry ingredients to wet ingredients and mix. Pour into pan. Cook at 350 for 22-28 min. I do 25min. Cut into 16 squares. 2 = 1 serving


Next is the Meatloaf Muffins:
1/2 tsp ground cumin
1/2 tsp dried thyme crushed
2 tsp dried mustard
2 tsp black pepper
2 tsp chipotle pepper spice (I use Ms. Dash)
1 tsp salt
1 C oats
2 cloves garlic - minced
1 small onion, finely chopped
2 stalks celery, finely chopped (or bell peppers)
3or4 egg whites
1 1/2 - 2 lbs ground chicken breast or turkey

Mix dry ingredients to wet ingredients and mash with your hands. Spray a muffin tin w/ olive oil spray. Make racquetball size balls and place in tins. Heat oven 375 and bake for 40min

Last one...Cocoa Muffins:
Nonstick spray
1 1/4 C oats
1 C whole wheat flour
2 TBS unsweetened cocoa powder
2 TBS whey protein powder (vanilla or chocolate)
1 tsp baking powder
1/2 tsp baking soda
1 large egg
1 C unsweetened applesauce
1/2 C low-fat milk
3 TBS agave syrup
2 TBS olive oil
1/2 C raisens
Preheat oven 350. Lightly spray muffin pan (regular or mini size) with oil and set aside. In large mixing bowl, combine oats and the next five ingredients. In another mixing bowl, whisk together egg, applesauce, milk, syrup, and oil. Make a well in the center of the dry ingredients and pour in the egg mixture. Stir just until moist. Stir in raisens. Portion batter evenly into muffin cups. Bake for 20 min (if mini cups...I did 12 min) or until tops spring back when lightly touched. You can double this and freeze some for later!

Hope you like them!!!
