*Vegan *Low-cal
A delicious, portable protein-powered breakfast or snack for around 100 calories without all the preservatives of a protein bar. Yeah, it’s pretty awesome.
Cooking spray
1 cup unsweetened applesauce
4 packets Stevia (or your favorite sweetener)
1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
2 tablespoons PB2 (this brand of peanut butter powder is great for using in smoothies, sauces, and oat muffins)
2 cups water
2 tablespoons flaxseeds
2½ cups quick-cooking rolled oats (the old-fashioned 5-minute kind)
2 cups raspberries (or any kind of berry)
1. Preheat the oven to 400°F. Grease a muffin pan.
2. In a large mixing bowl, combine the applesauce, sweetener, vanilla, peanut butter powder, water, flaxseeds, oats, and berries. Stir well and let sit for 5 minutes.
3. Using a spoon, fill each of the cups with the mixture.
4. Place in the oven and bake for 30 minutes.
TRY THE TIP: Dust your berries with a little bit of flour before adding, so they don’t just sink to the bottom of the muffin like they’re wearing cement shoes.
