Nothing smells quite as good as coming home to a batch of fresh-baked homemade muffins. And nothing makes us quite as excited as the fact that we now have HEALTHY muffins to make - ones that are just as light, fluffy and decadent as we dreamed off, yet much lower in sugars and calories than we ever expected.
These Blueberry + Cinnamon Oat Muffins contain Macro Mike Plant Based Protein+ - making them much higher in protein than the average muffin, and naturally sweetened by the protein powder too - taking away the need for excessive amounts of sugars and fats to be piled on in.
And as always, what we love most about healthy muffins is the versatility and convenience! Nothing says ‘always on the run’ more than the fitness world, and muffins are the perfect snack for that lifestyle. Whether they be a grab and go breakfast on your way out the door, a pre-workout snack, a healthy dessert or just a staple to keep your appetite at bay throughout the day - these healthy muffins have got you covered.
All the ingredients within these delicious creations are natural and plant-based - meaning your Blueberry + Cinnamon Oat Muffins are 100% Vegan-Friendly, Gluten Free and Dairy Free too! This makes them perfect snacks for the healthy and active community and an all-round family favourite.
Without further said, here it is! Your exclusive MAK recipe for these drool-worthy Blueberry + Cinnamon Oat Muffins!
