Ingredients:
- 2 cups soy flour
- 1 cup dry milk powder
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1 tablespoon baking powder
- 1 cup dates, chopped
- 1 cup nuts of your choice, chopped
- 3 eggs
- Zest of 1 orange
- 1 cup orange juice
- 3/4 cup honey
Instructions:
-
Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit (175 degrees Celsius). Prepare your muffin tin by greasing or lining with paper liners.
-
Mix Dry Ingredients: In a large mixing bowl, sift together the soy flour, dry milk powder, salt, and baking powder.
-
Incorporate Nuts and Dates: Stir in the chopped nuts and dates until evenly distributed throughout the dry ingredients.
-
Prepare Wet Ingredients: In a separate bowl, beat together the eggs, vegetable oil, orange zest, orange juice, and honey until well combined.
-
Combine Wet and Dry Mixtures: Pour the egg-orange juice mixture into the bowl of dry ingredients. Stir gently until all the dry ingredients are moistened. Be careful not to overmix; it’s okay if the batter is slightly lumpy.
-
Fill Muffin Cups: Spoon the batter into the prepared muffin cups, filling each about two-thirds full.
-
Bake: Place the muffin tin in the preheated oven and bake for approximately 25 minutes, or until the muffins have risen and are slightly browned on top.
-
Serve: Once baked, remove the muffins from the oven and allow them to cool in the pan for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
-
Enjoy: Serve these delicious high protein muffins warm or at room temperature. They are perfect for breakfast, as a snack, or enjoyed alongside your favorite hot beverage.
