High Protein Cinnamon Bites

Ingredients

• 450 g liquid egg whites
• 1.5 tsp vanilla extract (divided)
• 0.75 tsp cinnamon (divided)
• 4 tsp monk fruit sweetener (divided)
• 1 scoop protein powder (Optional; Ghost Lifestyle brand recommended)
• 1 oz cream cheese (light or fat-free recommended to match macros)
• 0.5 tsp vanilla extract (for frosting)
• 0.25 tsp cinnamon (for frosting)
• 2 tsp monk fruit sweetener (for frosting)
• salt (a pinch)

Steps

1. 1

   Preheat your oven to 180°C (350°F).

2. 2

   In a large clean bowl, whip the 450g of liquid egg whites until soft peaks form.

3. 3

   Add 1.5 tsp vanilla extract, 0.75 tsp cinnamon, 4 tsp monk fruit sweetener, and a pinch of salt to the bowl.

4. 4

   Continue mixing the egg white mixture until stiff peaks form.

5. 5

   Gently fold through one scoop of protein powder if you are using it.

6. 6

   Spoon the mixture evenly into two 12-hole muffin trays.

7. 7

   Bake in the preheated oven for 10–12 minutes until set.

8. 8

   While the bites are baking or cooling, mix the frosting ingredients (1 oz cream cheese, 0.5 tsp vanilla, 0.25 tsp cinnamon, and 2 tsp monk fruit sweetener) together in a small bowl until smooth.

9. 9

   Allow the cinnamon bites to cool slightly, then spread the frosting over them before serving.

Notes

The author suggests leaving butter out of the frosting to save calories. If you only have one muffin tin, you can halve the recipe. The texture is improved by the addition of protein powder.
