Healthy Chocolate Protein Muffins
Directions
- 1Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C) and prepare a muffin tin by lining it with muffin cups or lightly greasing it.
- 2In a large bowl, combine oat flour, chocolate protein powder, cocoa powder, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. Stir until well mixed.
- 3In another bowl, whisk together eggs, unsweetened applesauce, Greek yogurt, honey/maple syrup, and vanilla extract until smooth. Add milk and mix well.
- 4Pour wet ingredients into dry ingredients. Stir until just combined, being careful not to overmix. Gently fold in chocolate chips, if using.
- 5Divide batter evenly among muffin cups, filling each about 3/4 full. Bake for 18-22 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of a muffin comes out clean or with a few moist crumbs.
- 6Allow muffins to cool in the pan for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
