This recipe was adapted from the Berry Oatmeal Bake posted by @markefitness who has amazing meal prep ideas and recipes. You can find him on facebook or instagram. Since I only had apples on hand and was looking for a recipe that fit a bit better into my macros, I adapted it a bit to suit my needs and turned them into muffins for better portability.
Now because I am sure someone is inevitably going to ask me for the macros, here they are. Each muffin has137 calories, 19 grams of carbs, 4 g of fat, and 7g of protein. I usually eat one with a side of berries, or if I’m really active and on the go I’ll have two for a snack. They’re also really good with a dollop of protein nut butter spread on top.
Although my body building friends adore these, these gluten-free, dairy-free and nut-free muffins also make great allergy-friendly snacks for kid’s lunch boxes. Plus, with minimal sugar and lots of fibre, a good dose of protein and some healthy fats they provide long-lasting energy for active kids with the fuel they need to thrive.
