Mighty muffins

When dsm contributor Karla Walsh profiled Batch Balanced owner Megan Garvin back in 2022, her pouches of pre-mixed muffin batter already had a following. The high-protein, gluten-free formula uses almond instead of all-purpose wheat flour, plus Greek yogurt, egg whites and oats for fiber.

Turns out, Garvin was ahead of the curve. Our social feeds are feeding us more and more protein-packed content. (Hello, protein coffee and protein energy drinks.) If your New Year’s resolutions involve eating healthier and hitting those protein goals, whole-food options are probably a better place to start than a Starbucks Protein Latte.

You can purchase her fresh-frozen muffin mixes in a variety of flavors online at batchbalanced.com and schedule pickup in West Des Moines or get it delivered to your door. Once the batter thaws, it takes about 60 seconds to prep: Slice open the bag, pipe the batter into a muffin pan, sprinkle on toppings, then bake and enjoy.
