High Protein Muffins These muffins are a great snack, being high in protein and free of sugar and wheat. Wholegrain spelt flour is much higher in protein than wheat which helps to increase the protein content of these muffins. Enjoy!

Ingredients

  • 1 1/4 cups wholegrain spelt flour

  • 3/4 cup rolled oats
  • 2 tsp baking powder

  • 1/2 tsp sea salt
  • 1/2 cup rice bran or macadamia oil
  • 1/2 cup + 2 tbsp honey
  • 1/2 cup organic plain yoghurt

  4. Add wet ingredients to dry ingredients and mix until combined.
