Lemon Poppyseed Power Muffins

Butter-flavored cooking spray
1 cup whole wheat flour
1 cup vanilla protein powder (I use the Soy)
2 Tablespoons sugar
2 Tablespoons poppy seeds
2 teaspoons baking powder
pinch of salt
1/2 cup unsweetened applesauce
1/4 cup of egg substitute
1/2 cup skim milk
1/4 cup freshly squeezed lemon juice
4 teaspoons freshly grated lemon zest
Lemon Drizzle:
1/4 cup lemon juice
1 Tablespoon sugar

Heat oven to 400*F. Spray muffin pan with cooking spray (I use a mini-muffin pan that makes about 24). In a large bowl, combine the flour, protein powder, sugar, poppy seeds, baking powder and salt. Using a fork, cut in the applesauce until the mixture forms into crumbs. In a seperate bowl, whisk together egg subtitute, milk, lemon juice, and lemon zest. Add to flour mixture and stir until dry ingredients are moistened. Pour batter into muffin pan and bake for 12-18 minutes, or until toothpick inserted in center comes out clean. Remove muffins from pan and drizzle with lemon drizzle mixture. Cool on a wire rack. Makes about 12 regular size muffins or 24 mini-muffins. Delicious! Ü
