Whey Protein Isolate Muffins - Wheatfree!

Ok, so I was looking for a recipe for a flourless and sugarless sweet treat and I tried these muffins. I didn't have any lemon or blueberries so I subsituted them with dark chocolate chips. They tasted pretty good slightly dry but really good for you!

Here is the recipe:

3 eggs
3 tbsp of canola oil
1/4 heavy cream (I used skim milk instead)
1 1/4 cups of vanilla whey protein isolate powder
2 tsp of baking powder
1/3 cup of Splenda
1/4 tsp cinnamon
1 tbsp grated lemon rind (I skipped)
1/2 teaspoon of grated orange peel (I skipped)
1/2 cup of blueberries (I used dark choclate chips)

Preheat the oven to 325 degrees.
Mix eggs, oil, and cream together.
Then add the rest of the ingredients besides the blueberries.
Mix only enough to combine.
Add blueberries and mix.
Put muffin liners in muffin tins and add batter.
Bake for 8-10 min or until slightly golden on top.

Enjoy!

Here they are! Don't they look yummy????
