Ever since we increased our protein intake we realized the importance of right types of snacks. It is important to make right choices for healthy food, especially if desserts are your weakness. Therefore, these vegan protein muffins have helped us in satisfying our sweet tooth along with our basic requirements of protein.

My family loves food but often times I make sure to give them healthy food. We are a plant based family and love home cooked food. Lately, I am trying my hands at baking even though I am not a pro. It takes me quite some time to come up with baked recipes but these muffins have made me happiest ever.

The serving is one muffin each person and stays good for 4-5 days preferably in the refrigerator. I am sure these vegan protein muffins will win your taste buds.

Ingredients

For strawberry jam

• 2 cups chopped starwberries
• 2 tbsp chia seeds
• 1/4 cup pure maple syrup
• 1 tsp vanilla extract
• 1 tsp lemon juice

For the muffins

• 1 1/2 cups almond flour
• 1/4 cups whole ground flax seed meal
• 3/4 cups hemp seeds
• 1 tsp baking soda
• 1/4 tsp salt
• 2 whole banana (peeled and mashed)
• 1/2 cup chopped starwberries

Instructions

1. In a nonstick saucepan combine all the ingredients of the strawberry jam and cook on medium flame for 3-4 minutes or until strawberries soften. Lower the flame and mash strawberries with a food masher. Let it cook for 1 minute again on a medium flame and turn off the flame. Let it cool completely. The jam will thicken and become sticky.

2. Preheat oven at 350 degree Fahrenheit and prepare a muffin tray with muffin liners.

3. In a large mixing bowl combine almond flour, flax seed meal, hemp seeds, baking soda and salt. Mix very well until no lumps are left.

4. Now, fold in strawberry jam and mashed banana into the dry ingredients. Mix it with the spatula until all the ingredients are well combined.

5. Lastly, fold in chopped strawberries and mix gently.

6. With the help of an ice cream scoop drop the muffin batter into each muffin liner placed in the muffin tray.

7. Place the muffin tray at the bottom rack of the oven and bake it for 35 – 37 minutes or until the tester comes out clean.

8. Take the tray out of the oven and let it cool completely. 

Recipe Notes

• Since these muffins are oil free these might stick slightly to the muffin liner.
• Store them in a refrigerator for 4-5 days. When ready to eat just warm it for 5 seconds in the microwave to bring it to the room temperature. You may try it cold as well. These muffins would taste equally good.
