Ingredients
1 c soy milk
1 t apple cider vinegar
1 c whole wheat flour
1/2 c brown rice protein powder
2 t baking powder
1/2 t baking soda
1/4 t salt
1 t cinnamon
1 t vanilla extract
1/3 c canola oil
1/3 c sugar
1 1/2 c partially frozen blueberries*
Instructions
Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F.
Combine the soy milk and vinegar in a glass measuring cup, stir and set aside.
Combine all the dry ingredients in a large mixing bowl. Create a well in the middle of the bowl. Add the wet ingredients, except for the berries and stir just until combined. Fold in the berries.
Spray a muffin tin liberally with nonstick cooking spray or use paper liners.
Using a tablespoon or a cookie scoop, fill each well of the muffin tin 2/3 full.
Bake 22-25 minutes, until a toothpick inserted in the middle comes out clean.
Allow to cool before serving, and refrigerate in a covered container for up to one week.
Tips
Use any kind of protein powder you prefer. If you use a flavored variety, you can omit or reduce the sugar.
The protein powder is barely noticeable in this recipe, but do allow the muffins to cool or they will crumble.
You can also swap half of the whole wheat flour for oat flour (place oats in a blender until they form a powder).

| | David Zinczenko, editor-n-chief of Men's Health, has found in his 2008 research that the British Journal Of Nutrition reported that consuming more protein early in the day results in more sustained fullness compared with eating similar meals in the evening ..He also found that a similar study at Purdue University found that men on a calorie-restricted diet had their hunger satisfied the longest when they were given extra protein at breakfast...I have been preaching this for years...FINALLY...
When I was a full time Police Officer, due to my schedule, I was forced to eat my largest meal, which always consisted of a good amount of protein in it, during the morning hours...Before I started my day...I myself have seen significant results in the reduction of belly fat and the gain of muscle tone since this diet change...And, YES...satiety was proven throughout my entire day...This is my favorite morning time, high-protein meal, that I find extremely satisfying and health beneficial...

***You can substitute the traditional Green Bean Casserole for this low-fat option during the holidays. The Cream of Mushroom soup, milk and fried onions tend to fatten the traditional casserole up unnecessarily***
