I am saying it yet again. I really cannot believe how warm it is in the middle of December. I’m pretty sure it had to be some sort of record yesterday. I’m pretty sure it was almost 70 degrees. I never thought I would be able to ride with shorts and short sleeves in December. It felt amazing to not have to wear a hat gloves, jacket, and warm pants while riding. I swear it was probably 20 degrees this time last year.
However, I did do something other than ride my bike today. I had to get busy in the kitchen and try out some of the Muscle Tech platinum whey protein powder I received from them a few days ago. I used it as well as some casein protein in these muffins to give each one about 12 grams of protein.
The nice part about using vanilla protein powder as a base is that almost any flavor combination can be added to it. I’m not even sure where the white chocolate maple idea came from. I just found some different things in the pantry and decided to put them together. And…they turned out amazing!
