Apple Cinnamon Protein Muffins

I don't know what it is about this time of year, but I just can't seem to stop experimenting in the kitchen! My spinach salads and protein shakes are starting to feel a little out of season as the weather gets cooler, so I suppose you could blame my desire for more hearty food on my recent endeavours. Regardless, I am excited that others are interested in the recipes and so I have yet another treat for all of you to try.

I found this recipe on Just Keep Sweating and I do think that the muffins turned out quite nicely! However, I feel like this recipe is missing that kick of spice and flavour that apple cinnamon should have. Play with the recipe as you see fit, and if you end up with something fabulous please let me know! I would love to try a revision and hear your suggestions.

Happy baking,
