Ingredients Method Notes

Ingredients
  

  • 1 cup plain full-fat Greek yogurt
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1/4 cup maple syrup
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1/2 cup chocolate protein powder
  • 1/3 cup almond flour
  • 1/4 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1/4 teaspoon fine sea salt
  • 1/2 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips, plus extra for topping

Method
 

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Whisk yogurt, eggs, maple syrup, and vanilla until mostly smooth.
  2. Fold in protein powder, almond flour, cocoa powder, baking powder, and salt just until no dry streaks remain. Do not overmix. Fold in chocolate chips, reserving a few for topping.
  3. Divide batter among 8 lined muffin cups, filling nearly full. Press reserved chips on top. Bake 18 to 20 minutes until a toothpick comes out with moist crumbs. Cool 5 minutes in the pan, then transfer to a rack.

Notes

These muffins taste even better the next day once the chocolate has had time to develop. If you want to meal prep, double the batch and freeze half for busy mornings.
