Breakfast Muffins, the Zone Diet Recipe

Muffins are not on the list of foods that are good for the Zone dieters, which are instructed to cut out most carb-rich foods such as sweets, sugar, pastries, bread, rice, potatoes, pasta, noodles, etc.

However, if you bake, here is a good recipe. You'll have to have dry and wet ingredients:

= Dry

1 1/2 cups oat flour
1 cup whey protein
2 1/4 teaspoons apple pie spice
1 tablespoon baking powder
1 tablespoon grated orange rind

= Wet

2 whole eggs
4 egg whites
5 1/3 teaspoons canola oil
8 teaspoons fructose
2/3 cup unsweetened apple sauce


Combine the dry ingredients in a bowl. In a blender, process the wet ingredients until smooth. Add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients. Fold in 1 1/3 cup frozen blueberries, mix. Spoon the batter into the muffin cups. Bake until a toothpick comes out clean.
