Alternatives
Gluten free – Ensure that the oat and protein powder that you are using are gluten free.
Dairy free – use dairy free (vegan) yogourt (I did mine with coconut yogourt) and dairy free milk (oat, almond, soy, etc).
Vegan – Use a banana instead of the egg and maple syrop/agave instead of honey.
Raspeberries can be replaced by blueberries, chocolate chip, or any other fruits of your liking. You could also add some nuts and seeds for more healthy fat – pecans, hazelnuts, chia seeds, hemp seeeds, etc.
Notes
I personnaly did this recipe many times while switching up the version to find the perfect balance and respect nutritional restrictions. The first receipe is is without a doubt the best one – muffins taste like a treat without being one. They taste grandma like.
The one I made this morning was the gluten free and dairy free version to respect the nutrition guide from Arbonne low inflammatory ingredients (30 days of healthy living). I used their vegan vanilla protein powder and it was so tasty. I used vanilla coconut yogourt with no added suguar – it was delicious.
Try it and please let me know how you like them !!! For me, it satisfy my sweet toothg while nourishing my body. Perfect for breakfast and/or snack.
