Double Chocolate Protein Muffins (6 Ingredients)
Description
Double Chocolate Protein Muffins use a dark chocolate pancake mix base enriched with vanilla or chocolate protein powder and dark cocoa powder for depth of chocolate taste. Added canned pumpkin provides moisture and contributes to a soft crumb. Mini chocolate chips distributed throughout melt slightly during baking, creating pockets of chocolate.
The muffin batter is mixed simply from these ingredients with milk, then portioned into a greased muffin tray and baked at 350°F (175°C) until a toothpick comes out clean. Cooling allows the muffins to finish setting, preserving tenderness.
These muffins can serve as a convenient protein-enhanced option for breakfast or snack time, bringing chocolate flavor in a portable format. The pumpkin quietly boosts moisture without strong flavor interference, balancing the richness.
Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to a week, or freeze for longer-term storage. Thaw completely before reheating or serving at room temperature.
