Tasty Frosting
As you can see, these muffins lack protein. I discovered a delicious way to add some protein to these muffins by using protein powder. I use AST's vanilla VP2 (any should do). Here is what you do:

# Put 4 scoops of VP2 in a bowl.

# Add 4 packets of splenda for extra sweetness. This really makes it taste like frosting.

# Add 3 TBSP of water to the protein powder. This should make it nice and gooey. If it is still dry, add a little water. If you add too much water, the frosting will be too runny.

# Finally, simply spread the "frosting" over the tops of the muffins. You have now added 4 grams of protein, and plenty of taste, to each of the 24 muffins.

recipe I found that was made by Derek Charlebois

I made these but added 1/2 cup of unflavored pro powder and 3tbl spoons of flax powder to the muffins along with 1/4 cup olive oil to offset the powder, they came out great.

cheers OCCfan - to the people who are adding Whey Protein to the muffins, doesn't whey protein get degraded in high heat conditions?

Nice recipe, may have to give it a try seeing that FnF and I made 2 giant bricks last weekend. They were supposed to be Oatmeal/Protein Bars. Well at least the birds around the house will be looking jacked.

just a note on the protein "frosting"....

If you put this on them and let them sit out you are risking bacteria growth and or amino breakdown since mixing with water and letting sit out.

But... muffins sound great and if you make the frosting and use it all at the time you will be golden.

thanks for the heads up bro, i usually make the frosting and set it in the fridge until use. it doesn't sit in there long either!

I couldnt imagine letting them sit out for a few days.
