Collagen-boosted protein muffins

Many of you are familiar with collagen protein, the only protein powder I use and recommend.  At my home, you’re much more likely to find meals that include collagen protein than meals without this superfood addition.

For example, at breakfast I’ll spike my coffee or grain free porridge with this protein boost. If lunch is soup, such as my Healing Green Soup, I’ll often stir in a spoonful collagen. And on the occasions that I make a treat, I may reach for my Protein Cookie Dough or Cake Batter Collagen Bars.

Collagen protein, which is available here, dissolves without flavor in any liquid or batter. As a result, I felt inspired to try my hand at baking with this superfood. I found that it works beautifully in these grain free muffins, lending a delicate and slightly chewy texture. 

The collagen, along with the eggs in this recipe, creates a high-protein result. Each muffin offers about 6 grams of highly-digestible protein.  Also importantly, the protein is balanced with healthy fats from the egg yolks and coconut oil. Protein cannot be utilized in the body unless it is accompanied by fat. A high-protein, low-fat diet is not a route to long-term wellbeing.

Paleo Protein Muffins: About the ingredients

• Collagen protein provides a hearty protein boost to the muffins, and creates a delicate, slightly chewy texture.
• Eggs are essential to this structural integrity of these muffins, and I do not think egg replacers will work here. The high proportion of coconut flour requires eggs as a binding and leavening agent.
• Arrowroot flour is made from a starchy root, and helps lighten the often heavy quality of coconut flour. You can find it in health food stores and large grocery stores.
