Notes
I have recently updated this recipe, which is why the in-process images may seem a bit different than what you're seeing. Orginally they were made with vegan protein powder.
The best protein powder for these chocolate muffins is Equip Chocolate Protein. It's super sweet and causes zero bloat. Code MAMABEAR saves you money.
The batter of the muffins is insanely thick and sticky. You'll need a silicone spatula to get it out and portion it. Don't fill the muffin tins to the top.
You can use either a silicone muffin tin or individual silicone muffin molds placed in a muffin pan. Regardless, try not to use traditional paper muffin liners as they will stick.
The protein muffins are insanely delicate out of the oven. Let them cool fully before drizzling on more chocolate or removing them from the mold.
