| 1 ½ cinnamon |
|
1/4 cup Navitas Naturals Hemp Seeds |

½ cup Navitas Naturals Palm Sugar |

2 Tbsp Navitas Naturals Sprouted Chia Powder |
| 1 cup water | |

Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Grease a 12-cup muffin tin.
Make the cinnamon swirl sauce: Mix the protein powder, agave nectar and cinnamon in a small bowl and set aside.
Blend: 1 cup water with the hemp seeds and transfer to a medium bowl. Stir in applesauce, palm sugar and vanilla extract and set aside.
Mix: In a large bowl mix flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, nutmeg, cinnamon and chia powder together. Fold in applesauce mixture and stir until just combined – do not over mix.
Fold: Pour in cinnamon swirl sauce. Fold into batter turning just 2 or 3 times (avoid mixing in too well to keep “swirl”).
Transfer & Bake: Spoon the batter evenly into 12 muffin cups. Bake for 20-25 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the muffin center comes out clean. Cool before serving.
Makes 12 muffins.
