Instructions

Gather all ingredients and equipment.

Preheat oven to 325°F (165°C).

In a medium bowl, add all dry ingredients: flour, oat flour, vanilla protein powder, baking powder, baking soda, salt, cinnamon, nutmeg. Mix to incorporate.

Using a paddle attachment on a stand mixer, cream the butter and Swerve on medium speed for about 2-3 minutes or until mixture becomes light and fluffy and an off-white color.

Add eggs one at a time, completely incorporating into butter mixture before adding the second egg.

Add milk, vanilla and applesauce. Mix until just combined.

Add dry ingredients to the wet batter.

Scoop 1 oz or 2 Tbsp of batter into a greased lined mini-muffin tin. Each cups should be 2/3 - 3/4 full.

Bake for 10-15 minutes or until a toothpick comes out clean.

Chef's Note: If you can't find oat flour, blend oats in food processor or blender until they become a flour like consistency.
