Chef Victoria Scroggins

Chef Victoria Scroggins recently proved her mettle on reality TV; braving the Gordon Ramsay joint “MasterChef” in it’s fifth season. The Texan native invited me to her Brooklyn home to tell me about her adventures on MasterChef, her catering company “Scout” and why queer women kick serious butt in the culinary world. Oh and! Lucky you, she decided to each us all how to cook perfectly seasoned, grilled pork chops, red cabbage cole slaw and Texas black eyed peas.

The final product! Watch the video for step by step instructions!

It’s the first in Cake to Kale‘s recipe series! My goal in this series is to provide macronutrient-friendly (meaning, optimal ratio of protein, carbs and fats) recipes that are perfect as post-workout meals or snacks. I will be writing more about macronutrients (“macros”) in an upcoming post. But for now, I present these warm and delicious (I made them the other night) apple cinnamon protein muffins!

Ingredients:

1 diced apple
2 scoops vanilla whey protein powder (I used Trutein’s Cinnabun flavor to bring out the cinnamon!)
1/2 cup fat-free greek yogurt
1/2 cup applesauce
1/2 cup stevia or splenda
1.5 cup whole wheat pastry flour
2 egg whites, 1 whole egg
1 tsp baking powder
1 tsp vanilla extract
1 tsp cinnamon
1 pinch salt

Preheat oven to 350°F (180°C). Place ingredients into bowl and stir. Spray non-stick cooking spray on muffin pan. Pour batter evenly into muffin holes. Bake for 20 minutes.

Makes 12 servings. Per Serving:
