Scale

- 1/2 cup ground almond meal + 1 tablespoon
- 2 tablespoons ground flaxseed
- 2 teaspoons cinnamon
- 2 teaspoons baking powder
- 1 teaspoon lemon zest
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 cup egg whites
- 1/2 cup plain greek yogurt
- 2 bananas, mashed

- 1 cup fresh raspberries
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.

- In a medium bowl add protein powder, almond meal, ground flaxseed, cinnamon, baking powder, lemon zest and salt. Whisk together and set aside.
- To a small bowl add egg whites, plain greek yogurt, mashed bananas and melted coconut oil. Whisk together until everything is combined.
- Pour wet ingredients into dry ingredients and mix together using a spatula. Mix until you no longer see dry ingredients.
- Add raspberries to the bowl and gently fold them into the batter.
- Add muffin batter to prepared muffin tins to fill up all 12 tins.

Notes
* I find that storing them in a ziplock bag in the refrigerator makes them last longer.
