Serves: 9 muffins
A quick grab-and-go gym snack, that is less effort to make than a protein smoothie but so much more fun. These protein muffins contain no additional sugar (other than the stevia in the vanilla protein powder), are extremely moist, and are only 155 calories per serving with a whopping 11g of protein.
Ingredients
2 scoops vanilla protein isolate powder
½ cup almond flour
1 teaspoon baking powder
¼ teaspoon salt
1/3 cup peanut butter
1 cup full-fat yogurt or low-fat Greek yogurt
¼ cup dark chocolate chips
Directions
Preheat the oven to 325°F (160°C). In a large bowl combine the protein powder, almond flour, baking powder, and salt. In a small bowl combine the peanut butter and yogurt. Transfer the wet ingredients into the bowl with the dry ingredients and mix. Fold in the chocolate chips.
Bake for 14-18 minutes or until a toothpick comes out clean.

Leftovers keep for 1-2 days on the counter, 3-4 days in the refrigerator, or 2-3 months in the freezer. Toast directly from frozen at 325°F (160°C) until just warmed, about 5-10 minutes.

Feel free to sub full-fat yogurt for low-fat but note that the muffins will be a bit drier. If you wish to compensate for moisture, add an additional 1-2 tablespoons of peanut butter to the batter.
