Ways to add protein to muffins without changing consistency/texture?
I'm desperate to get myself off cereal at breakfast. When I'm able to cut it out I lose 5 pounds almost instantly. But I am always so wrecked in the morning I can't get myself to cook or prep stuff. I would love to be able to just grab a couple muffins--but I want to figure out how to add protein to them so they're more filling. Thing is, I don't like most nuts and definitely don't like big chunks of a different texture in my muffins (chocolate chips being the exception ). Anyone have any high protein muffin recipes, or ideas of what I could add to them?

What about what I call quiche muffins. Take your favorite quiche recipe and bake it in a muffin tin without a crust.

TheSpunkyCoconut uses high-protein flours so her muffins would all be great - http://www.thespunkycoconut.com/search/label/Muffins
I've had her chocolate chip muffins at her house, and they were amazing and had the perfect texture. I'm not sure if that exact recipe was from her cookbooks or not.

Re: Ways to add protein to muffins without changing consistency/texture?
Wow, there's some great looking stuff on that site, Punkie! I didn't even think about starting with a flour that is higher in protein. I know Reneandbaby uses almond flour, too--I really need to start branching out. The Pamela's GF mix is just sooooo easy...I get intimidated by mixing up different flours and trying flours I haven't tried before because I don't want to waste the money if it turns out I don't like it.

ITU!
Coconut flour is high-protein and I just started baking with it. It is really yummy. The only trick is that it soaks up moisture so it is easiest if you use a recipe made for coconut flour

I add vanilla whey protein powder like you'd mix up to make a protein shake.

I just made an oatmeal muffin I'd forgotten I had the recipe for. (Well, not one--24 of them. ) Between the oats, my Pamela's flour mix (which I just discovered has 7 g of protein per cup! ) the cup of rolled oats (another 7 g), the cup of buttermilk (9 g) and two eggs, they're pretty protein-heavy! ---------- Post added at 10:26 PM ---------- Previous post was at 10:25 PM ---------- But doesn't it taste coconutty? I don't like coconut.

Shaklee has a protein powder that can be baked.

Re: Ways to add protein to muffins without changing consistency/texture?
I add one scoop to the recipe and bake as normal. It's not enough to dry things out but it adds a bit of additional protein.

Re: Ways to add protein to muffins without changing consistency/texture?
we have rice protein powder that can be added in place of some flour or milk, we use small amounts of higher protein flour, you can substitute tofu for eggs but I'm not sure what that does to consistency

Re: Ways to add protein to muffins without changing consistency/texture?
Tofu is good only if the recipe is designed for it. Otherwise it gives an eggey texture

Re: Ways to add protein to muffins without changing consistency/texture?
I don't think it tastes coconut-y, but I don't mind the flavor of coconut, so perhaps I tune it out
