ADVOCARE POWER MUFFINS

2 Cups Whole Wheat Flour (to make them gluten free, I used Dry Oats – quick oats cereal – and ground them up into a flour/powder in the food processor or magic bullet) 

2 AdvoCare Vanilla Meal Replacement Shake Pouches (You could also use Vanilla Muscle Gain Powder to increase the protein content, lower the carbohydrate content. Use 2 pouches of muscle gain OR 4 – 6 scoops.) 

1 1⁄2 Cups Flaxseed Meal (I use Bob's Red Mill brand) 

1⁄2 Cup Oat Bran 

6 AdvoCare Peaches and Cream Fiber Drink Pouches 

2 Cups Splenda Brand Sweetener 

4 tsp. Baking Soda 

2 tsp. Baking Powder 

1 tsp. Salt 

4 tsp. Cinnamon 

3 Cups Shredded Organic Carrots (food processor or magic bullet) 

5 Unpeeled Organic Apples, grated 

1 Cup Organic Raisins 

2 Cups Coursely Chopped Pecans, toasted (on a cookie sheet in preheated 350 degree oven for 10 minutes, cool before adding to the recipe) 

1 1⁄2 Cups 1% Milk (I use vanilla soy milk) 

4 Eggs, beaten 

2 tsp. Pure Vanilla Extract

Mix together all dry ingredients in a large bowl. Stir in carrots, apples, raisins, and pecans. In a separate bowl, combine milk, beaten eggs, and vanilla. Pour liquid ingredients into dry ingredients. Stir until moistened. Fill muffin cups 3⁄4 full. Bake at 350 degrees for 15 – 20 minutes. Makes approximately 3 1⁄2 dozen.

(I also poured some batter into a bread pan and made a bread loaf. Takes a little longer to bake. Poke a dry toothpick in the center and remove the bread when the toothpick comes out dry – without batter stuck to it.)
