    It's not a sweet muffin, but here's a recipe for a breakfast egg "muffin" deal.

    Cheesy Egg Muffins
    Original Recipe Found Here: (Thanks to @fivethreeone for the recommendation!)
    http://www.ambitiouskitchen.com/2013/06/cheesy-egg-white-veggie-breakfast-muffins-low-carb-gluten-free/


    If you want an idea of nutrition breakdown, here's what mine came out to when I first made them -

    (Makes 12)
    Ingredients:
    307g All Whites Egg Whites or Egg Beaters Egg Whites
    188g Egg Beaters Original
    2 tbsp Silk Soy Milk Plain with DHA Omega-3
    40g Sargento Shredded Reduced Fat Colby-Jack Cheese
    65g White Mushrooms (raw), diced
    70g Tomatoes, diced
    51g Orange Bell Peppers, diced

    Directions:

    1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Spray 12-cup muffin tin with nonstick cooking spray, you can also line with muffin tins, just make sure you spray the inside of the muffin tins.

    2. Fill each muffin tin 1/4-1/3 full with veggies and herbs of choice. Add cheese to each muffin tin.

    3. In medium bowl whisk together egg whites, eggs, and milk/yogurt. Fill each muffin to the top with egg mixture, pouring over the veggies already in each tin. Bake for 20-30 minutes or until risen and slightly golden on top.

    4. Let cool for a few minutes, then remove from tin.

    Is there a reason for no protein powder? Just curious.

    I just don't have any in the house and would have to go get some.

    Oh, I see. If interested, I normally order mine and two brands I'd recommend are Optimum Nutrition and Trutein.

    ON is pretty well priced but I've found baking with it does require a little extra butter or it ends up coming out a bit dry. Trutein is pricier, but I love it as a shake and with baking. The same muffins and such I've made with ON come out really moist with Trutein.

    Great peanut butter cookies
    - protein powder and gluten free

    1 cup peanut butter (I use low salt and low sugar)
    3/4 cup sweetener (original recipe uses brown sugar, but stevia works)
    1 egg
    1 tsp baking powder
    Handful choc chips(optional)

    Drop on a pan and bake for 5-8 minutes at 360'.

    Curious, how is this high protein though?

    Oooo! Those look good! I remember seeing a similar recipe for crepes, I think. If I find it, I'll post it in here.

    These sound good...might try to reduce some of the whole eggs for egg whites for a lower fat version!

    just made some tonight for work, 5 servings in a muffing baking dish:
    90g all purpose flour = 300 calories
    57grams vanilla whey isolate = 210 calories
    138 grams egg whites = 75 calories
    60 grams canned pumpkin = 50 calories
    a little cashew milk to get thickness right, its the 25 calorie per 8 oz kind so you may use a calorie or two...
    zero calories granulated sweetener( sugar replacement for baking)
    cinnamon
    butter extract
    baking powder
    bake at 350 for 25 minutes
    totals per muffin: 123 calories, 14 grams protein, 16 grams carbs, 0.3 grams fat
