Strawberry Lime Muffins

Strawberry Lime Muffins

These muffins remind me of a strawberry margarita in the morning with the combination of strawberry and lime. 

Ingredients:

1 cup whole wheat flour

1 cup almond flour

1 scoops (3 tablespoons) powdered peanut butter

1 scoop vanilla protein powder

1 teaspoon baking soda

½ teaspoon salt

1 teaspoon strawberry extract

2 eggs

½ cup unsweetened applesauce

Zest of 2 limes, 3-4 tablespoons fresh lime juice

1 cup diced strawberries plus sliced strawberries for topping

Directions:

  1. Preheat the oven to 350 degrees.  Spray muffin tins with baking spray or line with liners.  
  2. Add flours, peanut butter, protein powder, baking soda, lime zest, and salt to a bowl.  Mix to combine.
  3. Add beaten eggs, applesauce, lime juice, and strawberry extract.  Mix gently.
  4. Add diced strawberries. Mix gently.
  5. Use a large cookie scooper to fill muffin tins.
  6. Gently press sliced strawberries on the top of each muffin.
  7. Bake 20 minutes.
  8. Let cool for at least 10 minutes on a wire rack before removing from the pan.
  9. Store in an air-tight container.  I store these in the fridge after 2 days.  I also freeze extra muffins to enjoy later.
