Maple Oatmeal Protein Muffins
I made this muffins yesterday as a snack for my brother’s weight lifting competition. Glad I did because we were there FOREVER. It was so much fun though- so proud of him!
These muffins made my apartment smell like a bakery. Easy for a pre-workout snack or afternoon snack with some peanut butter or a glass of milk.

Recipe Notes
Optional Cream Cheese Filling:
Combine 6 tablespoons low-fat or fat-cream cheese with 1 teaspoon maple syrup. Blend until smooth. Using a knife, cut a small circle in the muffin (do not go all the way through). Add the filling to the hole (I like to place my filling in a plastic bag and cut off a small corner at the end to “pipe” my filling).
