'V' is for Vanilla

 ... as in vanilla-chocolate banana protein muffins (that's a mouth full of a name)!

Word of warning: these came out HORRIBLE! The texture was all wrong, the taste was all wrong, and I just didn't like them at all.  I was going to throw them out but the boyfriend insisted on trying one and said to just keep it... it's edible and he'll eat it if he's starving.  Geez... he makes like we have no food to survive on.

Ingredients:

• 1c oats, divided
• 2 scoops vanilla protein powder
• 2 scoops chocolate protein powder
• 3 tbs. unsweetened cocoa powder
• 0.5 tsp salt
• 4 tbs. chopped raw almonds
• 0.25c cacao nibs
• 1 mashed banana
• 0.25c unsweetened applesauce
• 0.5 tsp vanilla extract
• 1 tbs. honey
• 2 tbs. agave nectar
• 1 tbs. instant coffee powder

1.) Preheat oven to 350 degree.  Spray muffin tin with oil and set aside.  In a food processor, blend 0.5c of oats to make oat flour. 

2.) Combine oat flour, remaining oats, protein powder, cocoa powder, salt, almonds and cacao nibs in bowl.

3.) Blend banana, applesauce, vanilla, honey, and agave in food processor until smooth.

4.)  Add wed ingredients to dry and combine well.  Pour mixture into muffin tin and bake 13 - 15 mins. **Do NOT over bake.**  Cool and store in air-tight container in refrigerator.

OMG these were horrible!  Seriously, I don't even know how to fix them to be "okay". FAIL!
