Recipe Thursday: PB2 Carrot Muffins

PB2 Carrot Muffins

We all know that I love my PB2 and I love to try new recipes with this awesome ingredient. Make that a recipe where I get to use my food processor which I hadn't used yet? We have a winner!

Ingredients

1 c. whole wheat flour
1 c. PB2
2 tsp. baking powder
1 1/2 tsp. salt
2 tsp. cinnamon
0.25 c. butter
0.5 c unsweetened applesauce
3/4 c. honey
2 c. grated carrot
1/2 c. oats
1 c. crushed unsweetened pineapple, drained

Directions

Mix dry ingredients.
Add honey, butter, applesauce, and eggs.
Mix well.
Stir in remaining ingredients.
Pour in lined or lightly greased muffin cups.
Bake at 350 for 20-25 minutes

Number of Servings: 12

My results: These turned out great. Not as "bready" as regular muffins but still a great snack / breakfast addition / whatever. I made a couple modifications from the recipe posted on the PB2 website to cut out some of the butter fat as well as walnuts that were also in the recipe. I might add raisins next time for a little extra flavor but overall..not bad!
