Clean Eating Blueberry Protein Muffins

Ingredients:
1 1/2 c Quick Cooking Oats (we use the Bob's Red Mill variety, also available gluten-free)
1 scoop of protein powder (we use Jay Robb's Unflavored Egg White protein powder; however, you could use a vanilla flavored powder and omit the vanilla extract below)
1/2 c Whole Wheat Pastry Flour (pastry flour is milled finer than regular flour, although regular flour may be used as well)
less than 1/2 c Xylitol (if you are uncomfortable using Xylitol, you can substitute Sucanet or Demerara sugar - just keep in mind that it changes the nutritional information for the muffin)
1 tsp Baking Powder
1/2 tsp Baking Soda
1 c Unsweetened Almond Milk
1/2 c Unsweetened Applesauce
1 tsp of Vanilla Extract
3 egg whites
1 tbsp coconut oil, heated and liquified
1 c frozen Blueberries

Should make 12 muffins, I only got 11.

1. Preheat oven to 400 degrees F. Spray muffin tin with non-stick spray (we use pure olive oil).
2. Combine dry ingredients together in a large mixing bowl.
3. Creating a well in the bottom of the bowl, begin adding and mixing in wet ingredients until fully combined.
4. Fold in blueberries to batter.
5. Fill 12-cup muffin tin with batter, equally filling each compartment.
6. Bake 22-24 minutes until golden brown. Let cool for 5 minutes prior to removing from tins
