OMG! Tonight I made the pistachio Protein mini muffin recipe from Eggface and it was incredibly delicious! I used cottage cheese instead of oil and they came out moist and amazing. My fiance said they are his favorites so far.

Attached is a picture of the cute yummy darlings that I baked up tonight. Eggface's fun muffin/donuts recipes are really keeping my carb and sugar cravings to a minimum.

I calculate the stats as:

Rockin' my sleeve with some help from my mini muffin pan!

Where do you get the almond meal?

Trader Joe's has almond meal. Finding pistachio pudding was a chaLlenge... Safeway had it stocked for st. Patty's day.

I used roasted salted pistachios on top to add a salty crunch. Yummy!

Interesting recipe. Doubt I'll find almond meal, anyone know what can be substituted? Or should I just grind some almonds in the food processor?

I don't know about substitution or self grinding but I found some on line:

I would think that health food store would carry it too!

Thanks, I was actually able to find it in the baking aisle of my Safeway!

Just grind it in a food processor. I have a lot of German recipes that ask for hazelnut meal and I always do that. Works like a charm!

I also use almond meal to make Orgeat for cocktails!

Where did you find the mini muffin pans and donuts pans? I can't find it anywhere here in my town.

I found the mini muffin pans at Bed Bath and Beyond but they also have some at Walmart. I ordered the mini donut pan from Amazon.com which I imagine also has mini muffin pans!

Good luck and hope that you can find them soon. Mini muffins and donuts have sure helped me with my carb cravings... and Eggface bites recipes are awesome breakfast/snacks!

Yum.... I love pistachios!

Thank you for your info. I've looked at our Walmart here in my town and we don't have them, either that or I looked in the wrong department. Can't get much help there they don't know where they moved things too either. lol
