Ingredients
2 cups almond flour
1 cup dark chocolate chips
3 large eggs
1/2 cup coconut oil, melted
1/2 cup maple syrup
1/2 cup unsweetened applesauce
1 scoop unflavored or chocolate protein powder (vanilla or plain)
1 teaspoon baking soda
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1/2 teaspoon salt
Instructions
Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a muffin tin with paper liners.
In a large bowl, whisk together almond flour, baking soda, protein powder, and salt.
In another bowl, mix eggs, maple syrup, applesauce, coconut oil, and vanilla extract until smooth.
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined.
Fold in chocolate chips and divide batter evenly among the prepared muffin cups.
Bake for 20 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean. Let cool in the pan for 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack.
Notes
Use a pea or brown rice protein blend for neutral flavor.
Replace applesauce with additional egg whites for extra fluffiness.
Store in an airtight container for up to 3 days or freeze for 2 months.
