High Protein McGriddle Muffins

Welcome to my series where I take viral recipes and make them more of a “Peachie balance”. So, high protein + blood sugar friendly and I always tweak the healthy fats if they’re high to keep calories lower. For this recipe, I swapped for turkey sausage, whites, and less cheddar cheese for lower fats. Swapped pancake mix for coconut flour, baking soda, and protein powder for way less carbs + more fiber and protein. And tastes the same 🥳🤗💪🏼

INGREDIENTS

• WET
  

  • 1 lb turkey breakfast sausage, used Jennie-o brand
    

  • 1 cup low fat cottage cheese
    

  • 2 eggs or 1/3 c liquid egg whites
    

  • 1 c unsw almond milk, desired milk, or water
    

  • 1 tsp maple extract (McCormick brand on my Amazon shop)
    

  • 1 tsp butter extract (McCormick brand on my Amazon or can find at Walmart)
    

  • 1/2 c sharp cheddar cheese, shredded
    

• DRY
  

  • 1/2 c coconut flour
    

  • 1/2 c The Peachie Spoon Vanilla Protein Powder
    

  • 1 tsp baking soda
    

  • dash of salt
    

STEPS

1. Preheat oven to 375

2. Cook the breakfast sausage in a pan for 5-7 minutes, until cooked through and crumbled. Drain fat, if any and set aside.

3. In a large bowl add the remaining wet ingredients to the bowl. (Can save some shredded cheese to sprinkle on top) Stir to combine.

4.  Add the dry ingredients to the bowl and stir. Add cooked sausage and fold in (stir gently).

5. Spray a 12-cup muffin tin with avocado oil. I used a silicone pan and they never stick. Divide the mixture between the 12 cups, filling to the top. Add the rest of the cheddar to top

6. Bake for 18-20 minutes until fluffy and cooked through. You can also swap to broil on high for the last couple minutes to brown the top bit watch them, they’ll burn quick.

7. Let them cool for 10 minutes, then remove and enjoy. Pour maple syrup or your fave sugar free syrup before serving, if desired. Store in a covered dish in the fridge for up to 5 days.
