Cranberry & Cacao Nib Protein Muffins

Heyyyyy, muffin fans, I have an incredible recipe that you are guaranteed to love and bake again and again. This recipe combines naturally sweet dried cranberries and cocoa nibs with an all-star cast of nutritious and delicious ingredients for a fluffy, yet protein-packed muffin. They’re truly the best of both worlds and, basically, you need to have a stash of these babies in your kitchen at all times. Thank you to Nuts.com for partnering with me on this blog post!

I mean, most are essentially cupcakes disguised as muffins since they’re typically loaded with refined carbs, tons of sugar, icky fats… yada yada. Long story short, they’re not super healthy. At the same time though, the  truly healthy muffins are, well, kind of gross. You know what I’m talking about, right? They’re usually dry, much too dense, and somewhat flavorless without an ounce

Mazen’s school project was the centerpiece of the living room ; ) Sarah made her famous vomiting guacamole pumpkin! I dressed up as the Statue of Liberty! The bridesmaid dress I wore in my sister’s wedding made the perfect costume. I made my crown using this template. So if you don’t have a costume ready for tonight, wear aqua and print the crown on cardstock! My friends surprised me with this birthday cake and song. <3 We partied into the night, but I
