Cinnamon Spice Protein "Muffins"

Well, it's been a while and it's time for a great recipe!
There is a little bit of a back story on how I arrived at just the Cinnamon Spice flavoring. The recipe is adapted from Jamie Eason's Apple Cinnamon Protein Bars. I was making some changes as is and in the middle of baking, I realized I forgot the key ingredient... APPLE. But I waited it out, tasted them and they weren't half bad!
