Looking for a protein filled, no added sugar muffin? Well, look no further. This is a low carb, muffin with only 1/2 cup of “flour” for the entire recipe. I used rice flour, but almond flour would be tasty and make it a paleo muffin! Part of my goal for 2021 is to stay far away from any processed foods. Yes, it takes a bit more planning and effort to plan a prep day to prepare healthy foods, but your microbiome will thank you.
This muffin is light and delicious especially fresh out of the oven and is only 145 calories per muffin. Great to have on hand for a quick snack and freezes well. In fact, I recommend storing most baking in the freezer to keep it fresh for eating!
This makes a healthy and nutritious snack for your kid’s lunches or in the afternoon with tea for yourself.
