CP’s Volume-Friendly and Protein Packed Strawberries & Cream Jam-Filled Muffins for Guilt-Free Mornings
Ever have that summer moment where you stroll past the bakery section and those giant, golden muffins are literally calling your name? Yeah, me too, my friend!
You assure yourself, “I’ll just look at it”, but the next thing you know, you’re halfway through a 400-calorie muffin that somehow leaves you feeling bloated and mildly defeated.
What if you could have that same sweet, tender muffin experience without the sugar overload and regret?
My “Strawberries & Cream Muffins” version is made for mornings like this. Light, fluffy and bursting with strawberry jam, they feel like a bakery indulgence…but with a smart twist that makes the muffin perfect for a healthy lifestyle.
Each one has just 164 calories, with 13 grams of protein and only 5 grams of net carbs. That means you can actually “volume eat” more than one if you want to and still stay on track!
Here’s why these little fabulous muffins are such a win for your weight loss and health:
✅ Triple the Protein
Regular bakery muffins struggle to break 5 grams of protein. My version has 13 grams, so you stay full for longer. Research says that high-protein breakfasts can reduce appetite and caloric intake later in the day(Leidy et al., 2015).
✅ Low Net Carbs
Compared to 49 grams of net carbs in most store-bought muffins, this one has just 5 grams of net carbs and gives all the flavor without the sugar crash.
✅ Quick and Simple
You only need 23 minutes start to finish, and they store beautifully in the fridge or freezer for meal prep.
✅ Budget Friendly
At about 78 cents a muffin, you’re saving big compared to coffee shop treats.
I love how fun these are to bake. You get to spoon a dab of jam in the center, sprinkle some white chocolate chips, and watch them rise to golden perfection. The muffins feel festive and give a treat-yourself vibe, but you can easily work them into your plan any day of the week.
