I literally got stuck in my sports bra yesterday. STUCK. I had a certain hair-do going on yesterday and didn’t want to mess it up. Meaning a messy bun that I was about to run in. But, you know how it goes. Don’t ever mess up the perfect bun. Whatever. So I put it over my head first, then tried to get my arms through it. One went through, the other one had a much tougher time. It took me at least 4 minutes to get my other arm through. I started to have a panic attack, sweat emerged, and had to talk myself through it. I got through it. The sports bra made weird sounds. Lululemon has some snug stuff.
So the other day, before I headed off to South Dakota, I grabbed my comforter that had been stuffed into the trunk of multiple cars because of camping, to take with me to keep me snuggly warm while traveling. Well, once I picked it up, stuffing fell out of it. I should explain that this comforter has been with me since my freshmen year of college and it was a bit cheap. BUT, stuffing was never falling out of it. So I tried to figure out why the hell it was dying on me. And I came to find out some sort of greenish stain that was eating away at the comforter. How creepy is that? What do you think it was? I had to throw her away so I wouldn’t get die of a flesh eating virus. Sad day in comforter land.
Why does the Bachelorette suck so much more than the Bachelor? Well, they both kind of suck. But the Bachelorette is extremely boring to watch. But I still seem to have a girls night every Monday to watch it. Even when it’s the men tell all episode. Which is the worst episode of all since the bros really have nothing to tell. Would you be on that show? My best friend tried out. I want her to get on it so I like the show more. But I’m selfish. And it seems like it may be completely awful to be there. How can someone take 6 weeks off of work to be on a fake dating show? It’s just so confusing.
Wow. I obviously don’t have much to talk about today. I do have some muffins to talk about though. Even though I thought my muffins were delicious, I thought some muffins I tried yesterday topped mine. They’re called Nourishe and they have chocolate ginger macadamia muffins and and cinnamon raisin pecan muffins. Both are awesome. Check them out here. And try mine in the meantime. DUH!

Hey! I’m going to be traveling for work and wanted to make a batch of these to bring for breakfasts. Do they have to be refridgerated? You think they’ll be ok in an airtight container for a few days? Thanks!
They will last a few days before needing to be refrigerated, but they can go bad if they get overheated
I tried these tonight! The batter was really thick! These came out more like a cookie (kind of oily on the bottom) than a muffin, but they sure are tasty! I used half Sunbutter & half Trader Joe’s almond butter since I ran out of the Sunbutter. Next time I’ll try the MaraNatha Sunbutter to see if I get different results.
Are these supposed to be sweet? The thought of a not-sweet muffin kinda weirded me out, so I added honey. Is there a sweetener in the protein powder you use? Because I just used coconut flour.
the protein powder has a bit of sweetener to it so i didn’t add any myself
Ha! I do a kind of push-press every day to get my sports bra off 😉
They’ve finally brought out mini choc chips here! Those look so delicious!
Would coconut milk have worked? I had the same doughy like texture. I added some coconut oil and they were really oily and I had to shape them into balls to put them in the muffin tin. :-(. They are in the oven now…I’m sad. For once I had everything on hand to make them!!
coconut milk might have helped, but even one more egg may help out
For those of you fighting with your sportsbras…I finally got to a point where I threw out all of my pull-over bras and replaced them with the ones that are still hook-and-eye. Athleta has some EXCELLENT brands. I found that I’m able to get much more snug bras than I could get in the pull-over style. Just tryin’ to help some girls out…
Hey Juli,
Did you fold in the cup of unsweetened, shredded coconut at the same time as the chocolate chips?
I see the coconut shreds on the ingredients list, but not in the instructions. So I just wanted to be sure it was to go in the mix, rather than sprinkled ontop, etc.!
These look delicious, can’t wait to make them!
yes!! sorry i updated that!!
I have no problem getting in the sports bra. I always get stuck trying to get them off – once they’re all wet and sweaty. It’s a pain and frustrating . . . . lol
I don’t like the texture of shredded coconut, will the muffins still hold form without shredded coconut?
yes
