Chocolate protein muffins

Chocolate protein muffins are a delicious and nutritious way to start your day or enjoy as a post-workout snack. These muffins combine the rich, indulgent taste of chocolate with the added benefits of whey protein, providing a satisfying treat that supports your fitness goals. Whether you're a seasoned baker or new to the kitchen, this easy-to-follow recipe will help you create moist and flavorful muffins that everyone will love.

Ingredients:

1.50 scoops whey protein powder
44g
3 tbsp white rice flour
30g
3 tbsp dry cocoa powder
16g
1 egg
54g
1 cup milk (2% fat)
240g
1 tsp stevia leaf sweetener
3g

Instructions:

1. Preheat Oven: Begin by preheating your oven to 350°F (175°C). This will ensure that it is at the right temperature when you are ready to bake.
2. Prepare the Muffin Pan: Lightly grease a muffin pan or line it with muffin papers to prevent sticking.
3. Combine Dry Ingredients: In a large bowl, mix together the whey protein powder, white rice flour, and dry cocoa powder until they are well combined.
4. Mix Wet Ingredients: In a separate bowl, whisk the egg until it's fully beaten. Then add the milk and stevia leaf sweetener, whisking until the mixture is smooth.
5. Combine Wet and Dry Ingredients: Gradually add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients, mixing continuously until the batter is smooth and well blended. Make sure there are no lumps.
6. Fill Muffin Pan: Pour the batter into the prepared muffin pan, filling each cup about 3/4 full. This will allow room for the muffins to rise as they bake.
7. Bake: Place the muffin pan in the preheated oven and bake for 15-20 minutes. To check if they are done, insert a toothpick into the center of a muffin; if it comes out clean, the muffins are ready.
8. Cool: Once baked, remove the muffins from the oven and let them cool in the pan for about 5 minutes. Then transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely.
9. Serve: Enjoy your Chocolate Protein Muffins as a healthy breakfast option or a post-workout snack!

Tips:

- Always preheat your oven to ensure even baking. For this recipe, preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).

- To avoid dry muffins, do not overmix the batter. Mix just until the ingredients are combined.

- Use silicone or nonstick muffin liners for easy removal and cleanup.

- Consider adding a handful of chocolate chips or chopped nuts for extra flavor and texture.

- Allow the muffins to cool in the pan for about 10 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.

- Store the muffins in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days or in the fridge for up to a week.

- For a dairy-free version, substitute the milk with almond milk or another plant-based milk of your choice.

With this recipe, you can enjoy the delightful taste of chocolate while benefiting from a boost of protein. These chocolate protein muffins are perfect for a quick breakfast, a satisfying snack, or a healthy dessert option. Don't hesitate to get creative by adding your favorite mix-ins like nuts, berries, or a dash of vanilla extract. Happy baking!
