Easy Chocolate Protein Powder Muffins, Gluten Free and Oil Free Chocolate Protein Muffins
Easy chocolate protein powder muffins that are low in calorie, gluten free, and oil free! Key ingredients: protein powder, coconut flour, greek yogurt
Ingredients
- 132 grams protein powder I used vegan NOW Sports Pea Protein
- ½ cup coconut flour
- 1 cup brown sugar not packed
- ½ cup unsweetened cocoa powder
- 1 ½ teaspoon baking soda
- 2 large eggs use flax egg for vegan option
- 2 cups greek yogurt
- ½ cup water
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- ¾ cup chocolate chip OR 1 whole candy bar of Hershey's almond milk chocolate bar (chopped)
Instructions
- Prep the oven by preheating it to 375 degrees Fahrenheit.
- Combine all your ingredients a large bowl (excluding the chocolate chips or chopped chocolate bar). Use an electric hand mixer or stand mixer to mix all ingredients together until batter is smooth. If the batter is too thick for you, you may add in more water 1 tablespoon at a time until desired texture is achieved.
- Fold in the chocolate chips or chopped chocolate bar into the batter.
- Use cupcake paper liners to line your muffin pan. Fill each liner all the way up with your muffin batter.
- Bake for 20-25 minutes in the preheated oven or until the batter is baked. You may use a toothpick to insert into the middle of the cupcake to check if it is fully baked. The toothpick should come out clean if the batter is fully baked. Be cautious of over baking the muffins - the protein powder in the muffin creates a crust on top of your muffin from over baking.
