4.49 163 Published Sep 11, 2019, Updated Feb 25, 2024 I love keeping a healthy sweet treat on hand to satisfy my sweet tooth. Pretty sure baby girl has one too but I have peace of mind knowing these muffins are packed with nutritious ingredients and a solid dose of protein. I don’t have baked goods around too often in our house so when I do make them, I want to make sure they’re 1) delicious and 2) good for me!
Ingredients in Double Chocolate Protein Muffins
old-fashioned oats –iIf you need these muffins to be gluten-free, make sure you look for oats that say “gluten-free” on the package! bananas – the riper the better here. Bananas add a delicious flavor and help keep the muffins light and moist. chocolate whey protein powder – I highly recommend using whey protein powder for this recipe as plant-based protein powders tend to soak up more liquid and will result in a super thick muffin batter. I used Clean Simple Eats Brownie Batter protein powder for testing this recipe and it works great! almond milk – I like to use unsweetened so I can control the amount of sweetener I add to the recipe. eggs – to bind the ingredients together. I have tried this recipe with flax eggs, but I’ve found that the muffins turn out much better with regular eggs instead. dark chocolate chips – I recommend using Hu Kitchen’s no sugar added chocolate chips or Lily’s Dark Chocolate Chips. These options will keep the muffins lower in sugar!
How To Make Chocolate Protein Muffins
In a high powered blender, add the eggs, oats, banana, chocolate protein powder and almond milk and blend until smooth. Add in the baking soda and baking powder and blend again until combined. Use a spatula to gently stir in the chocolate chips and then scoop the muffin mix into a muffin tin lined with paper or silicone liners. Sprinkle extra chocolate chips on top of each muffin and bake in a preheated oven for 20 minutes (or until a toothpick comes out clean).
