Ingredients for apple protein muffins

The easy muffin recipe calls for applesauce, protein powder, flour, cinnamon, sugar, baking soda, salt, baking powder, white or apple cider vinegar, pure vanilla extract, water, optional oil or nut butter, and finely diced apple.
Either sweetened or unsweetened applesauce are fine to use. If you do not have applesauce on hand, you may substitute an equal amount of mashed banana. Or substitute Greek yogurt or canned pumpkin, increasing the sweetener to half a cup to make up for the difference in sweetness.

I used unsweetened and unflavored pea protein powder. You may also try something like cinnamon roll, vanilla, pumpkin pie, or caramel protein powder. Be sure to use a brand and flavor of protein that you already know you like.

If desired, you may substitute unrefined coconut sugar, date sugar, brown sugar, or sugar free xylitol for the sugar.
