Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees F and spray non-stick 12 muffin tin with cooking spray. Set aside.
- In a large mixing bowl, add almond butter, applesauce, maple syrup, eggs, vanilla extract, cinnamon, baking powder, salt and whisk well until combined.
- Add whey protein powder and almond flour, stir gently with spatula to combine. Batter will be runny. Fold in chocolate chips.
- Distribute batter evenly between 12 openings of a tin. I used regular ice cream scoop and muffin cups were almost full. Bake for 25 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
- Remove protein muffins from the oven and let cool for 10 minutes. Enjoy!
