Double Chocolate Protein Muffins
Description
These Double Chocolate Protein Muffins use a base of rolled oats and ripe banana combined with chocolate-flavored whey protein powder, eggs, and almond milk. Blending the oats and banana with wet ingredients results in a smooth batter that evenly distributes flavor and texture. Baking soda and baking powder provide leavening for a light rise. Dark chocolate chips are folded into the batter for pockets of semi-sweet chocolate throughout the muffins, with extra chips added on top for a chocolatey crust. The muffins bake at 350°F until a toothpick inserted comes out clean, offering a moist texture with a balance of natural banana sweetness and chocolate richness. They are well suited for a protein-enhanced snack or quick breakfast treat.

- ¾ cup (98 grams) rolled oats old-fashioned
- 1 ½ (160 grams) banana ripe
- 1 cup whey protein powder use code EBF for 10% off, chocolate flavor
- ½ cup almond milk plus more as needed to blend, unsweetened
- 2 large egg

Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350°F.
- Add oats, banana, chocolate protein powder, almond milk and eggs into a high powdered blender and blend until smooth. Add baking soda and baking powder. Blend until combined.
- Use a spatula to stir in chocolate chips and then transfer muffin mix into prepared muffin tin lined with paper or silicone liners. Muffin cavities should be filled about 3/4 of the way up and you should be able to fill 12 muffin cups. Sprinkle extra chocolate chips on top of each muffin.

Notes
- Use chocolate-flavored whey protein powder for best texture; plant-based powders may absorb too much liquid.
- Select low-sugar dark chocolate chips like Hu Kitchen’s or Lily’s to keep sugar content lower.
- Mix the batter thoroughly but avoid over mixing after adding chocolate chips to maintain muffin softness.
