Breakfast is the hardest meal for those of us who are gluten-free, dairy-free, and sugar-free. I was very happy to find this recipe for some high-protein muffins. These are quite tasty and less "brick-like" than other high-protein muffins I've tried. I made a batch on Saturday, popped them in the freezer, and have been having them for breakfast and/or snacks this week.
Almond Meal Muffins:
1 cup ground flaxseed
1/2 cup ground almonds (or walnuts)
3/4 cup whey protein powder (I used rice protein powder)
1/2 teaspoon baking powder
1 teaspoon baking soda
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1/2 teaspoon ground cardamom
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 Tablespoon coconut oil
2 eggs
2 teaspoons vanilla extract (alcohol-free preferred. I used "Spice Shoppe" brand.)
2/3 cup grated carrot
2/3 cup soft tofu
Grated zest of 1 lemon
Preheat oven to 350 degrees Farenheit. Mix all ingredients together and pour into muffins tins. (The batter needed more liquid so I mixed in some soy milk when I made them.) Bake 20-25 minutes.
High-protein, low-carb, high-fiber, and delicious! :-)

Hi Lyn, fantastic looking recipe :) As I am allergic to soy (tofu) I was wondering if you could please suggest a substitute. Thanks, Shelley
