Preparation
  1. Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a muffin tin with liners.
  2. In a large bowl, mix together the oats, Greek yogurt, protein powder, honey or maple syrup, applesauce, cinnamon, baking powder, and salt until well combined.

Notes

These muffins stay fresh for up to 5 days in the fridge when stored in an airtight container. For a make-ahead option, bake a double batch and freeze. They last for about a month; just reheat before enjoying. Pro Tip: Let muffins cool before icing to prevent melting.
