These muffins have come a long way since their first debut in our niece Rashida’s cookbook, Trim Healthy Future, where I originally introduced Aunty Pearl’s Muffins. While the original recipe was delicious, it lacked protein, meaning you had to pair them with a protein-rich drink to make them a balanced meal.
Now, thanks to this optimized version, you get 12 grams of protein per muffin when using sprouted oats (or 11 grams with regular oats, which is still impressive!). That means if you enjoy two muffins, you’re hitting 24 grams of protein, making it an easy, satisfying way to meet your daily protein needs. Of course, for an extra nerdy protein boost, I like to add a scoop of TH Optimized Collagen to my coffee on the side.
This version has a more rustic, Crunchy Mama vibe—denser, heartier, and a little earthier with the TH Optimized Plant Protein added. But honestly? I love them even more than the original! The wholesome texture, rich flavor, and nourishing ingredients make them deeply satisfying.
A special touch I’ve added is coarsely grinding the flax seeds in a coffee grinder instead of using pre-ground flax meal. It gives the muffins a subtle crunch that adds to their hearty texture (but don’t worry, you can skip this step if you prefer). The psyllium husks are another fantastic addition—they help with digestion and keep everything moving smoothly.
Huge thanks to Bev, our incredible head of customer service, who first tweaked the original recipe. She sent me her version, I played around with it a little more, and together, we’ve crafted something truly special. These muffins are packed with protein, fiber, and wholesome goodness, making them perfect for an energizing breakfast or a satisfying snack. Hope you love them as much as we do!

These Optimized Aunty Pearl's Muffins are a bit more on the Crunchy Mama side… denser and a bit more earthy with the TH Optimized Plant Protein Powder added, but to be honest… I love them even more than the original. I have fallen in love with the rustic aspect of them. I also love the psyllium husks in them, they keep my digestion running super well. This recipe is part of the Wisdom Recipe Collection.
If you love adding nuts, as the original recipe calls for, leave out the flax and chia seeds and use just ¼ cup of chopped nuts to keep in a solid E mode. Or use them all for a lovely crossover.
