These High Protein Chocolate Muffins are moist, rich, and packed with flavor, all without any added sugar! Perfect for a healthy breakfast or snack.

Ingredients

  • 1 cup oat flour (or almond flour for lower carb)

  • 1/2 cup unsweetened cocoa powder

  • 1/2 cup chocolate protein powder (whey or plant-based)

  • 1 tsp baking powder

  • 1/2 tsp baking soda

  • 1/4 tsp salt

  • 2 ripe bananas, mashed

  • 1/2 cup unsweetened applesauce

  • 1/4 cup unsweetened almond milk (or milk of choice)

  • 2 large eggs

  • 1 tsp vanilla extract

  • 1/2 cup sugar-free chocolate chips (optional)

Directions

  • Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a 12-cup muffin tin with paper liners or grease well.
  • In a large bowl, whisk together oat flour, cocoa powder, protein powder, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
  • In a separate medium bowl, mash the ripe bananas. Add applesauce, almond milk, eggs, and vanilla extract. Whisk until well combined.
  • Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients. Stir gently until just combined. Be careful not to overmix, as this can lead to tough muffins.
  • Fold in the sugar-free chocolate chips, if using.
  • Divide the batter evenly among the 12 muffin cups.
  • Bake for 18-22 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of a muffin comes out clean.
  • Let the muffins cool in the tin for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.

Notes

    • Don’t Overmix: Overmixing the batter is a common kitchen fail and can lead to dense, tough muffins. Mix just until the dry ingredients are moistened for that perfect tender crumb.
    • Ripe Bananas are Key: The riper your bananas, the sweeter and more moist your muffins will be. Look for bananas with plenty of brown spots for the best flavor and natural sweetness.
    • Protein Powder Power: The type of protein powder can affect texture. Whey protein tends to yield a slightly softer muffin, while some plant-based proteins might make them a bit denser. Adjust almond milk slightly if batter seems too thick or thin.
