Ingredients

2 scoops vanilla protein powder 64-67 grams
1 teaspoon baking powder
1/2 cup almond flour
1/2 cup peanut butter or any nut or seed butter
1 cup unsweetened applesauce
1/2 cup chocolate chips optional

Instructions

Preheat the oven to 180C/350F. Line a muffin tin with 8 muffin liners and set aside.
In a large mixing bowl, add your protein powder, almond flour, and baking powder, and mix well. Add your peanut butter and unsweetened applesauce and mix until fully combined. Fold through your chocolate chips.
Divide the batter amongst the muffin liners and bake for 10-12 minutes, or until a skewer comes out mostly clean. If you notice the tops browning too quickly, cover it with tinfoil around the 8 minute mark.
Remove the muffins from the oven and allow them to cool for 5 minutes, before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.
