Notes
*To make protein lemon muffins use 120g (1 cup) of oat flour/ground oats and 25g (1/4 cup) of vanilla or unflavoured whey protein – this makes the muffins have 10g protein each!
**Such as Sukrin Gold, Xylitol or Trvuia (if you use a ‘lighter sweetener’ use the cup measurement as opposed to grams)
***You can swap the whey protein in the icing for white hot chocolate powder or Sukrin (calorie free) Icing Sugar
