Chocolate Protein Muffins These make a great breakfast food or even pre-workout snack if you want to get some protein & carbs in for energy! These are a super delicious and healthy alternative to Chocolate Muffins, with only 60-110 calories each (depending on size) and plenty of protein! Yields: 12 large muffins, or 24 small muffins Ingredients: 1 and ¾ cup oats 3 egg whites 3/4 cup unsweetened cocoa ½ cup unsweetened applesauce 1 tsp. vanilla extract ½ cup plain Greek yogurt 1-½ tsp. baking powder 1-½ tsp. baking soda ¼ tsp. salt 1 cup hot water 1 cup sugar substitute (like Splenda granular) OR ¼ cup + 2 tbs stevia ½ cup semi-sweet chocolate chips (or even better – dark chocolate chunks for antioxidant power!) Directions Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Line 2 (12-cup) muffin pans with foil cupcake liners, or spray muffin tin with non-stick cooking spray. In a blender, (or food processor), mix all of the ingredients together, except for the chocolate chips. Blend until oats are ground and mixture is smooth. Place mixture in a bowl and gently stir in the chocolate chips. Scoop mixture into prepared muffin pans. Place muffins tins in the oven for approximately 15 minutes. Let cool & enjoy!!! -- source link
