Pineapple Protein Muffins

I love the fact that you can get SO much fruit from a pineapple. I have been eating and making recipes off this pineapple all week and I still have leftovers! I wanted to make a tropical muffin to have a little variety at breakfast. Since I plan on eating these in the morning, I wanted to add a little more protein, besides the egg, so I added powdered protein! They turned out amazing!

Ingredients:
  • 1 cup almond flour
  • 1/2 cup protein (I used Progenex belgian chocolate)
  • 3 eggs
  • 1 tsp baking powder
  • 1 tsp baking soda
  • 1 heaping tsp cinnamon
  • 1/8 tsp salt
  • 2 Tbsp raw honey
  • 1/2 tsp melted coconut oil
  • 2 tsp almond butter
  • 2/3 cup pineapple, diced *
Instructions:
  1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees
  2. Mix dry ingredients, then mix wet ingredients in a separate bowl
  3. Mix wet ingredients into dry
  4. Fold in pineapple
  5. Scoop batter into a lined muffin tin - these will rise, a lot. Scoop batter accordingly.
  6. Bake for 18 minutes
 *This recipe will work with just about any fruit. If you are using a fruit that has a lot of water in it (like blackberries or raspberries) use 2/3 cup. If you are using a fruit like blueberries or apples, use 1/2 cup
