Hello again friends!
Is everyone having a good day? I hope so!
I wanted to come back today to share a recipe that I enjoyed today. Since Lori and I have been extremely busy here lately we needed I quick snack to get us through. And this recipe was born.
Now this recipe came from two inspirations that we have already made before. One being our quick cake that we enjoyed awhile back and the second recipe inspiration came from our individual protein muffin.
The recipe is made up of just 4 ingredients plus some cardamom for flavor. I am obsessed with that spice. Anyone else? This recipe is gluten and grain free. Also featuring a new sugar that Lori and I are trying out called Erythritol. Have you heard of it?
Pure2raw recipe: Quick one minute protein muffin
Serves: 1
Ingredients:
- 2 tablespoons flax meal
- 2 tablespoons protein powder (we used vanilla brown rice protein)
- 2 egg whites
- 1 tablespoon Erythritol sugar
- 1/2 teaspoon cardamom
Directions:
Place all ingredients into a glass cup. I used a glass measuring cup.
Stir together.
Place glass cup into microwave for about 1 minute and 30 seconds. Time will vary depending on your microwave. So start with just one minute and go from there.
That is it! Enjoy!
Now we normally do not use our microwaves that much. So if you are not a fan of the microwave you may bake in the oven at 350 degrees for about 20-30 minutes. The microwave for us is usually used only when we need something made really fast.
This quick protein muffin is simple, tasty, and in between a dense muffin and a light cake. I topped my muffin with some coconut oil. mmmm so good!
till next time,
xoxo

PS- we are working on some really great recipes – think waffles and donuts.

Hi girls! This sounds great, especially with the coconut oil on top. My husband and I can’t wait for the waffle recipe! He’s hoping there’s protein in it ;o).
Geez, I wanted to ask what to substitute for the erythritol? Another granulated sweetener? Thanks!

yes any sugar would be fine.
I just left it out and added 4 drops of liquid stevia. Worked fine.
Awesome, thank you!

I love doing simple and quick microwave protein recipes. Mmm.

we are too!
This looks like the perfect quick snack! I love making cakes with protein powder, and I’m also obsessed with cardamom, so I know this will be good.
yay for cardamom love!
I adore cardamom too! And erythritol may just be my favorite sweetener, although stevia gives it a good run.
I’m microwave-phobic, though

haha ya, we try not to use it a lot
Found my night snack!!
Erythritol is my favorite – its the only sweetener I use because of its outstanding profile. I made this earlier but mixed in lychee with the flax meal and topped it with the coconut oil and a dash of lime juice – it was delicious.
awesome Daniel! we are loving Erythritol too!
Brilliant recipe ladies! I needed an idea for trialing erythritol, too.

Could you use chia seeds instead of the flax? Flax and I just don’t get along. And I will try it in the oven. Thanks!
Sara yes chia should work as well
This looks really tasty, and I love that it’s so easy to prepare! Would you say that it tastes similar to your chocolate chip protein muffin, recipe, minus the chocolate chips?
Brittany @ Itty Bits of Balance recently posted..Boring Lady
yes it is very similar in taste
YUMM I need to make this today!!
Looks yummy! I use erythritol a lot…usually in combination with stevia. I guess that’s what truvia is made of but since I don’t want to support cargill (or whichever of those big bad companies who owns it), buying the non-brand name ones is way better!
Lisa recently posted..Meatballs {with beef liver}. Yes, you read that right!
Lisa we feel the same way!
Sounds amazing! I think I might try it after my workout today. And I’m practically salivating thinking about what kind of waffles and donuts you girls are dreaming up

Gotta try this one out some day. It looks delicious!
I haven’t tried erythritol yet. I need to. I love protein cakes and this one looks delicious!
Yummy! Looks so easy and I love the addition of cardamom! xo

I like using my microwave, I don’t have the patience for the oven! This looks great for a fast protein snack option, I make protein muffins all the time, and usually have them before bed. Never tried erythritol, I still have a ton of stevia. And definitely love that as a sweetener.

I try not to use my microwave very often but sometimes it’s necessary for things like this or for quick eggs. I made a microwavable chocolate protein muffin before and hated it – even topped with peanut butter. There wasn’t enough peanut butter in the world to make it taste good. haha
I’ll have to try this recipe and see if I like it any better.

Hello,
What can I use to substitute the flax?
Thanks
Cintia you could use chia seeds for the flax.
Great!! I will use chia seeds and let you know how it came out! Thanks:)
