Deep Chocolate Protein Muffins

Even though this recipe makes six large-sized muffins (not mini, or even standard size), they only have 117 calories each, yet are packed with 16 grams of protein. Recipe from Tom Venuto's Burn the Fat, Feed the Muscle Blog (www.BurnTheFatBlog.com)

Ingredients

  • 90 g chocolate whey protein powder (about 1 cup)
  • 21 g coconut flour (3 Tbsp)
  • 30 g natural unsweetened cocoa powder (6 Tbsp)
  • 56 g Truvia naturally sweet (spoonable) (4 Tbsp)
  • .75 tsp baking soda
  • .25 tsp salt
  • 1 XL whole egg
  • 81 g unsweetened applesauce (1/3 cup)
  • 76 g nonfat Greek yogurt (1/3 cup)
  • 1/2 cup skim milk (236 ml)

Instructions

  • Pre-heat oven to 375
  • Combine dry ingredients in a mixing bowl. Mix thoroughly until combined.
  • In a separate bowl, add wet ingredients (eggs, skim milk, yogurt applesauce) and mix until combined.
  • Mix wet with dry ingredients to form batter.
  • Pour or spoon batter into large/Texas 6-muffin pan (greased with a little cooking spray)*
  • Bake 20 minutes at 375 degrees F.
  • Allow to cool a few minutes before removing from pan

Notes

*A standard 12-muffin pan also works, but this amount of batter will make 9 standard sized muffins in a 12-muffin pan (with batter filling only 3/4 of each slot), or you could even stretch this batch of batter across 12 muffins (with batter filling only 2/3 each slot)
