Irene’s Power Muffins
One of my dear friends Maria has had a remarkable weight loss and body transformation over the past year. A couple weeks ago, I got to see her for the first time in a couple months, and her jaw-dropping transformation blew my mind. I of course drilled Maria for all of her secrets.Besides working out like a beast and eating healthy, she has a phenomenal trainer, Irene, that she sees every week. This awesome recipe came from Irene. Maria said she swore by these power muffins….easy to make, low calorie, protein packed, filling, AND delicious.
I HAD to give them a try. She was right! I have been making a batch of these every week to have in the morning, or before workout sessions. I love everything about them. Thanks Irene!

hi!! my first batch of these are in the oven now…can’t wait to taste them! thanks for this recipe. i was wondering if you had any fun or interesting ways to use the egg yolks that are left over? a healthy custard recipe or something like that? thanks!!!
I hope you love them 🙂 I don’t have a recipe… but I like where you are going with a healthy custard recipe!
so i didn’t make custard, but i used the egg yolks from a second batch i just made as egg glaze for sugar cookies i made with my little boy. we had a blast coloring the yokes, painting the cookies and watching them bake. maybe not SUPER healthy hehe, but definitely a lot of fun and at least the egg yolks didn’t totally go to waste!
Fun! This is a great idea! Thanks for sharing with us 🙂
Hi,
I made these are they’re SUPER dry, like hard to swallow dry. Help! Maybe more bananas?
Thanks so much!
What kind of protein powder did you use and how big is each scoop? Thanks!
Hey Heather! I used Trader Joe’s Whey protein. I believe most protein powders come with a standard scoop. I think 30 grams.
Can I replace the banans with apple sauce?? I HATE BANANAS!!! The taste, smell and texture make me gag :S weird I know! Or should I use applesauce/yogurt?? Any suggestions???
Maybe try a combo of Greek Yogurt and apple sauce. Let me know how that turns out!
Hi Corey! Does it matter what type of protein powder you use (I generally use a soy and lactose free protein powder)? Also, some “scoops” might measure differently-does that matter ? Thank you!
I am sure any protein powder will work great. I have only used whey, but I really don’t see that influencing the recipe all that much. The scoop I used measures at about 15.5 grams. I think all the scoop are similar, so I wouldn’t worry too much about that either 🙂 I hope that helsp Ana! XO
