These muffins are not only delicious but also nutritious, made with a blend of whey protein powder, almond milk, and natural peanut butter.

Ingredients:

2 scoops whey protein powder
60g
1/2 cup white rice flour
80g
1/2 cup sugar
100g
1 tsp baking powder
5g
3 tbsp dry cocoa powder
16g
2 eggs
110g
1/2 cup almond milk
120g
2 tbsp peanut butter
10g

Instructions:

1. Preheat Oven: Start by preheating your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a muffin tin with paper liners or grease the muffin cups to prevent sticking.
2. Mix Dry Ingredients: In a large mixing bowl, combine the whey protein powder, white rice flour, sugar, baking powder, and dry cocoa powder. Stir the dry ingredients together until they are well blended.
3. Prepare Wet Ingredients: In a separate mixing bowl, whisk the eggs until they are frothy. Add in the almond milk and peanut butter, whisking until all the ingredients are smoothly combined.
4. Combine Wet and Dry Ingredients: Pour the wet mixture into the bowl with the dry ingredients. Stir gently until just combined. Be careful not to overmix; the batter should be thick but smooth.
5. Fill Muffin Cups: Using a spoon or an ice cream scoop, fill each muffin cup about three-quarters full with the batter.
6. Bake: Place the muffin tin in the preheated oven and bake for 15-18 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of a muffin comes out clean or with just a few moist crumbs attached.
7. Cool: Remove the muffin tin from the oven and let the muffins cool in the tin for about 5 minutes. Then transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely.
8. Enjoy: These fudgy chocolate peanut butter protein muffins are best enjoyed at room temperature or slightly warm. Store any leftovers in an airtight container at room temperature for up to three days or in the refrigerator for up to a week.

Tips:

- 1. For an extra boost of flavor, consider adding a handful of dark chocolate chips or chopped nuts to the batter.

- 2. If you prefer a sweeter muffin, you can increase the sugar by an additional 1/4 cup.

- 3. To make the muffins even more decadent, drizzle some melted chocolate or a spoonful of peanut butter over the tops before baking.

- 4. Substitute the almond milk with any other milk or milk alternative if desired.

- 5. If you're using salted peanut butter, you may want to reduce the amount of sugar or leave out any additional salt to keep the balance of flavors.

Enjoy your freshly baked Chocolate Peanut Butter Protein Muffins as a healthy and delicious snack. They are perfect for on-the-go breakfasts, post-workout refuel, or as a delightful dessert any time of the day. Store them in an airtight container to keep them fresh or freeze them for longer storage.
