I know we’re still reveling in the holiday spirit (i.e., eating all the appetizers and festive baked goods and drinking all the eggnog), but it’s never too early to start thinking about a healthy start to the new year, especially when it’s National Oatmeal Muffin Day!

National oatmeal muffin holiday aside, sometimes you want something other than leftover cheesy potatoes or sweet onion crack dip for breakfast.

I’m not gonna lie. These oatmeal chocolate chip protein muffins look totally healthy, which has you seriously questioning if they taste like anything other than cardboard. But I’m here to tell you they actually taste really good—and I was definitely a doubter.

There’s only a hint of banana flavor and a whole lot of oatmeal, cinnamon and chocolate chip flavor. I consider that a total win! Plus they’re packed with protein thanks to egg whites, Purely Inspired organic protein and ground flaxseed (optional but I highly recommend it).

These protein muffins come together quickly…I’m talking less than 10 minutes. I found a medium cookie scoop was perfect for dividing them among the 12 muffin cups. Just use 2 scoops per cup! The oatmeal chocolate chip protein muffins can be stored in the fridge in an airtight container for up to a week or better yet, freeze them for a quick meal on the go! And you know you’re going to be on the go once the new year is underway.

    Do they have to be refrigerated?

      I like to keep them refrigerated–they taste yummy chilled! Plus I’m sure it helps them keep longer, so I’d totally do it. :)
