Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1/2 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
  • 1 scoop chocolate protein powder
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 cup unsweetened applesauce
  • 1/2 cup milk (dairy or non-dairy)
  • 1/4 cup honey or maple syrup
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1/4 cup chocolate chips (optional)

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease or line a muffin tin.
  2. In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, cocoa powder, protein powder, baking soda, baking powder, and salt.
  3. In a separate bowl, whisk together the applesauce, milk, honey or maple syrup, and vanilla extract.
  4. Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and mix until just combined. Do not overmix.
  5. If using, gently fold in the chocolate chips.
  6. Divide the batter evenly among the muffin cups, filling each about two-thirds full.
  7. Bake for 18-22 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
  8. Let the muffins cool in the tin for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.

Notes

  • Adjust the sweetener to your preference.
  • For a more intense chocolate flavor, use dark cocoa powder.
  • You can substitute almond flour for all-purpose flour for a gluten-free option.
  • Add a tablespoon of instant coffee to the batter to enhance the chocolate flavor.
