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!

These came out pretty dry for me. Used almond butter and added a bit of honey for some extra sweetness. They were ok – my boyfriend kept eating them, but thats not saying much because he’s like a goat, he would eat a bicycle if I left it on the kitchen counter, haha.
I love your recipes! Thank you for your blog! I was wondering if you have ever used hemp protein powder? If so, do you think I could substitute hemp for the whey protein powder?
no i’ve never used it, so I’m not exactly sure
I tried these today and LOVED them. I used almond butter instead because that is what I had. 🙂
Could I use vanilla protein powder and just add cocoa powder? How much would you add for this recipie?
yeah! i would add just 2 teaspoons of cocoa powder
I understand your sports bra struggle, good hair-dos are like gold. Don’t mess with it, you’ll never get it the same again! I have been looking for a new protein powder, perhaps I’ll give this one at try. These muffins look bangin’.
Do you know the nutrition facts for your recipe?
nope
I followed the directions to the T (except I used Jay Robb vanilla protein) and mine also came out dry and biscuit-y. I will try other subs as suggested and am determined to get fluffy consistency!!
I’m not sure why, but adding some coconut milk to it might help!
Mine came out a bit dry. Any advice on adding something to moisten them up a bit?
a bit of coconut milk might help!
I added a tablespoon of extra virgin olive oil. Could use coconut oil too. They turned out great even with my forgotten almond butter lol not dry at all!
Ok. So I just made these. I used a tbs of coconut flour and 1 tbs of extra virgin olive oil and 1 tbs of coco. when they were almost done cooking I realized I FORGOT the almond butter…I thought they would be ruined. NOPE! They so rock!!
These are amazing!!! I have made them 3 times so far. The first time I made them with peanut butter and they were great! Then, the last two times I’ve made them just as the recipe is written and they are awesome!!! Thank you for this great recipe. I have one recommendation though, you forgot to put the coconut into the instructions and I forgot to add it the second time I made it. It was a bummer.
