Chocolate Orange 'Juice Pulp' Muffins

So I am currently gnarly bad sick so I have been juicing fresh orange juice and I have a lot of juice pulp.

Chocolate Orange Muffins:

2c oat flour

1 1/2tsp baking powder

1 tsp baking soda

2 1/2 tbsp unsweetened cocoa powder

1-1 1/2c orange juice pulp

Zest of 1 orange

2 egg whites

2 flax eggs

1 tsp vanilla

Sweetener 

1. Mix dry ingredients.

2. Blend wet ingredients.

3. Add wet to dry. Stir really well.

(You could add cacao nibs or choc chips if you wanted)

4. Line muffin tins; bake 350 for 20mins. 

Allow them to cool completely otherwise they will stick.

This makes 12 muffins. 

The plain ones just simply don't have cocoa powder added to them.

Juice Pulp Dark Chocolate Chip Muffins

So I juice everyday so my pulp leftover builds up-I either freeze it or store in fridge to make some muffins. I stick with the fruit or sweet veggies for my muffins. This leftover pulp for this recipe was carrots, apple, orange, pineapple, and some greens. I pick through to get the right colors to know what veggies/fruits are which.

Juice Pulp Chocolate Chip Muffins:

1-1 1/2 c pulp (or just grate some carrots)

2 egg whites 

2 flax eggs (2tbsp flax + 6 tbsp water, let sit to gel up) or 2 more egg whites 

1 tbsp chia seeds soaked with 1 tbsp water (optional)

4 stevia packets

2 c coarse oat flour (grind up oats)

1 tsp baking soda

1 1/2 tsp baking powder

1 tsp cinnamon

1/4 c 'Enjoy life' Dairy Free Soy Free Nut free Dark Chocolate Chips

 

1. I put my pulp in the food processor jut to smooth it out a bit but not completely smooth. Pulse in eggs, flax eggs, and chia seed gel.

2. Mix oats, soda, powder, cinnamon.

4. Add pulp mixture to oat mix.

5. Mix well then fold in the dark chocolate.

6. Bake 350 for 20mins. I make 12 muffins with this recipe.

7. Allow to cool completely. I leave mine in the oven overnight. 

Juice Pulp Muffins

Juice Pulp Muffins:

1-2c pulp (mine was sweet potato, carrot, strawberry, spinach) you could blend pulp to make smooth or leave as is to add texture

4 eggs

2 c oat flour

1 1/2tsp baking soda

1 tsp baking powder

Spices: savory-herbs, sweet-cinnamon, nutmeg 

Optional: extracts, sweetener, nuts, choc chips, coconut flakes, seeds

1. Whisk eggs with extract and sweetener.

2. Mix dry ingredients together.

3. Add eggs to pulp. Mix really well-I used my hands.

4. Add pulp mix to dry ingredients. Combine into a thick dough.

5. Scoop into lined or sprayed muffin tin.

6. Bake 350 for 20mins. 

Leave to cool completely! Important because the pulp creates a lot of moisture.

I left mine in the oven overnight and they were perfect.

This recipe is very basic so add your variety-you could make them nut and seed muffins and load them up with pumpkin seeds, flax, hemp, psyllium husks, chia seeds...

Or fruit muffins, add in some dried cranberries or banana chips or raisins

Or make into sweet muffins by adding in sweetener and chocolate chips 

Or making them choclate muffins by adding meter choclate or cacoa powder

Possibilities are endless!!!
