Here is how you make Banana Walnut Protein Muffins TM:

Spray cooking spray on 6 three-inch muffin cups & preheat oven to 350. Stir together oatmeal, SPP, Splenda, baking powder, ginger & nutmeg.Add together the skim milk, cheese, & canola. (I use a 2-cup measuring cup; just put ‘em in together if you have one.)Stir above three slightly & microwave for 2 ½ minutes, or until cheese is melted. During those 2 ½ minutes toss banana into dry ingredients & mash against sides of bowl, blending as much as possible with the dry ingredients.Remove milk/cheese/oil from microwave, stir; pour into the dry ingredients & mix whole batter. Add roughly ¾ walnuts, mix again, & pour batter into prepared muffin cups. Each cup should be nearly full. Use moistened fingertips to “neaten” tops, then sprinkle with more Splenda (or Equal) & remaining walnuts.Bake for 14 minutes, or until a toothpick comes out clean. (14 because you’re not waiting for sugar to melt or egg yolk to cook.)Cool on rack for 15-20 minutes. (For the cheese to recool & bind. That’s the secret. You won’t taste the bland mozzarella used this way, but it binds in the same way that egg yolk & sugar (blech!) are used for baking glue.)In each muffin. 22 ½ g protein (9 g protein from SPP, 9 g from milk, 1.5 g from cheese, & 3 g from walnuts which are also super high in Omega 3 & 6. An adult needs about 45 g protein a day; one muffin supplies half of that.)Total carbs: 11.5 (40.5 from quick oats, 0 from SPP, 16.5 from walnuts, 12 g from skim milk) 0 bad fat (saturated, hydrogenated, or partially hydrogenated.) Just the canola.Number of Servings: 6Recipe submitted by SparkPeople user TSURANYI.
