High in protein
Weekend food preparation for the whole week includes a healthy breakfast or a snack (in my family).
This healthy loaf and muffins are high in protein that comes from eggs, cottage cheese and optional protein powder.
Healthy fats and fibre come from chia seeds and hemp hearts.
I use oats and coconut flour instead of regular wheat flour.
INGREDIENTS:
1 cup cottage cheese, 1%
2 cups almond milk or any milk
4 tablespoons chia seeds
4-6 scoops protein powder (optional)
1 cup quick oats
6 tablespoons coconut flour
Lemon juice of 1/2 lemon
2 eggs
1cup egg whites
3 tablespoons hemp hearts
2 tablespoons of powdered peanut butter or regular peanut butter
1 teaspoon baking soda
1 tablespoon baking powder
1 teaspoon vanilla
Ground cinnamon
1/4 cup almonds (optional)
1/3 blueberries (optional)
1/4 cup chocolate chips (optional)
DIRECTIONS:
- Preheat oven to 350F
- Let chia seeds soak in milk
-
- Slowly add all the ingredients and blend with a hand mixer
- Pour into a greased pan or muffin liners
- Bake muffins for 15 minutes, the bread will need more time, until not runny inside.
Makes about 28 servings.
