These Apple Cinnamon Protein Muffin Bites are the perfect little two-bite snack — soft, warmly spiced, and naturally sweetened with fresh apple. Packed with fiber, healthy fats, and a boost of PlantFusion protein and they’re easy to grab, pack, and share.

Ingredients:

• 1 cup oat flour (or finely blended rolled oats)
• 1/2 cup almond flour
• 2 scoops PlantFusion Complete Protein (Vanilla Bean)
• 1 1/2 teaspoons cinnamon
• 1/2 teaspoon nutmeg
• 1 teaspoon baking powder
• 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
• Pinch of sea salt
• 1/2 cup unsweetened applesauce
• 1/3 cup maple syrup
• 1 large egg (or flax egg for vegan)
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 1 small apple, grated (skin on for fiber)
• 1/3 cup chopped walnuts (optional)

Directions:

1. Prep the oven: Preheat oven to 350°F and line a mini muffin pan with parchment liners.
2. Mix the dry ingredients: In a large bowl, whisk together oat flour, almond flour, PlantFusion protein, cinnamon, nutmeg, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
3. Mix the wet ingredients: In another bowl, whisk together applesauce, maple syrup, egg, and vanilla until smooth. Stir in grated apple.
4. Combine: Add the wet mixture to the dry and stir until just combined. Fold in walnuts if using.
5. Bake: Divide batter among muffin cups, filling about 3/4 full. Bake for 12–15 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
6. Cool + enjoy: Let muffins cool slightly before removing from the pan. Serve warm or at room temperature.
