What Do These Savory Oat Muffins Taste Like?
I love adding earthy spices to my oat dishes. For this muffin, I chose two; ground cinnamon and pumpkin pie seasoning, which has a mix of spices in it. Each bite is enjoyable, warm with spice and a bit nutty.
I feel like these ingredients put together are the perfect combo for a delish, savory bite.
My picky little eater, my blondie boy, loves these muffins and I must admit…for a girl with a major sweet tooth…I really LOVE this savory bite just as much as the sweet stuff I make, like this dessert oats meal I recently made.
Can Protein Powder Replace Flour?
YESSSSS! In fact, I have replaced my flour altogether with my favorite plant based protein powder.
I’ve tried both the vanilla and the chocolate flavors in baked goods, meals and in original recipes. I especially love using protein powder to make pancakes and waffles.
I’m going to try making cookies with protein powder, next. Wish me luck!
My Savory Muffins make a great Low Sugar, Low Calorie, Low Fat Breakfast Option
I love using a ripe medium sized banana in my muffin recipes because one banana goes a very long way. I did want to keep the sugar to a minimum, so I also added a tiny bit of allulose sugar (a wonderful keto-friendly, plant based sugar alternative).
To keep the calorie count under 150 per muffin, I opted to use almond milk, protein powder and egg whites.
Egg whites actually helped to keep these muffins a low fat breakfast option, too!
P.S. I made this batch of muffins in my new Pioneer Woman Floral Muffin Tin, a gift from my husband. He said he picked it up at Walmart. I love it, by the way.

My savory protein oat muffins recipe is simple to make, low in sugar, high in protein and makes for a delish low fat breakfast option.
Notes
I used my beloved air fryer toaster oven to make these muffins. Adjust accordingly, if using a standard oven. I also used Pioneer Woman's floral cupcake tin, which was heavy duty and held a decent amount of mix.
Ingredients
- 90g Rolled Oats (Quick Cook)
- 90g Vanilla Protein Powder
- 4 tsp Baking Powder
- 4 tsp Ground Cinnamon
- 2 tsp Pumpkin Pie Seasoning
- 1 tsp Vanilla Extract
- 2 Large Egg-Whites
- 2 tsp Pink Himalayan Salt
- 1 cup Unsweetened Original Almond Milk
- 1 Medium Ripe Banana (83g)
- 3 tbsp Allulose Sugar
Instructions
- Prepare dry ingredients in one bowl: oats + protein powder + spices + baking powder + salt
- Prepare wet ingredients in a 2nd bowl: smooshed banana + egg whites + almond milk + vanilla extract + allulose sugar
- Preheat your oven to 350 degrees F
- Slowly add the wet mix into the dry mix bowl
- Combine (I use a silicone spatula) until all ingredients are fully mixed together
- Spray muffin or pancake tins with a non-stick cooking spray
- Add your final combined mix to your pan of choice, making sure the mix stops before reaching the top of each spot
- Bake for 28-30 minutes, adjust accordingly (see notes)
- Do the toothpick check to make sure the muffins are baked perfectly. There may be a slight stickiness from the banana, but only a little.
