How to Make High Protein Muffins

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a 12-cup muffin tin with paper liners or grease well.
  2. In a large bowl, whisk together 1 ½ cups soy flour, ½ cup dry milk powder, ½ teaspoon salt, and 2 teaspoons baking powder.
  3. Stir in 1 cup chopped walnuts (or your favorite nuts) and ½ cup chopped pitted dates (or ½ cup raisins/chopped apricots).
  4. In a separate bowl, whisk together 2 large eggs, ¼ cup vegetable oil, 1 tablespoon orange zest, ¼ cup orange juice, and 2 tablespoons honey.
  5. Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and stir gently until just combined. Do not overmix.
  6. Fill muffin cups about ¾ full.
  7. Bake for 25-30 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean and the muffins are lightly browned.
  8. Let cool in the muffin tin for a few minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.
