Protein Blueberry Muffins
/Some protein muffin recipes feature a lot of ingredients that still land them in the "special treat" category. This recipe is not one of them. Whipped up several times now in our home kitchen, it turns casein protein powder, eggs, and some coconut flour and coconut oil into delightful little gems of healthy satisfying goodness.
Give 'em a try!
