Peanut Butter Protein Muffins
Description
This recipe blends peanut butter, eggs, and honey into a smooth base before incorporating protein powder, baking powder, baking soda, salt, and dairy-free milk. The batter's thickness requires careful portioning into silicone-lined muffin cups, smoothing tops before baking. Muffins bake at 350°F for 15 minutes and should cool in the tray for best texture development.
Once baked and cooled, the muffins hold a firm but tender crumb with a subtle sweetness from honey and a noticeable peanut butter presence. Protein powder enhances nutritional content, while the baking agents lift the batter adequately. The muffins are neither crumbly nor overly wet, striking a balance suitable for on-the-go or post-workout snacks.
They store well at room temperature for several days or longer when refrigerated. Refrigeration firms the muffins, making the first bite denser and more indulgent. This flexibility in storage allows preparation ahead for planned consumption or casual nibbling.
Ingredients
- 2 egg
- ⅓ cup protein powder
- 1 tbs protein powder
- ⅓ cup peanut butter
- ¾ teaspoon baking powder
- ½ teaspoon baking soda
- ¼ teaspoon salt
- ¼ cup honey
- 1 tbs dairy-free milk
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350 degrees Farenheit.
- In a large mixing bowl mix together the peanut butter, eggs, and honey until smooth.
- Add in all the dry ingredients and mix again.
- Finally, stir in the milk and mix until no clumps remain.
- Line a muffin tray with silicone muffin cups.
- Portion the batter into the muffin cups.
- Bake for 15 minutes, remove from the oven but let cool completely in the tray.
Notes
- Batter thickens after resting; portion carefully into muffin cups and smooth tops before baking.
- These muffins rise substantially during baking but will deflate slightly upon cooling.
- Store muffins at room temperature for 2-3 days or refrigerate up to a week to extend freshness.
- Refrigeration firms muffins, altering their texture to a denser, richer bite.
