Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1.5 cups Almond flour
- 0.25 cup Unsweetened cocoa powder
- 1 teaspoon Baking powder
- 0.25 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 cup Protein powder (vanilla or chocolate flavor)
- 1 Large ripe banana
- 2 large Eggs
- 0.5 cup Almond milk, unsweetened
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 0.25 cup Stevia or preferred low-carb sweetener
- 0.5 cup Dark chocolate chips, sugar-free
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a 12-cup muffin tin with paper liners or grease with a non-stick spray.
In a medium bowl, mix together the almond flour, cocoa powder, baking powder, salt, and protein powder until well combined.
In a separate large bowl, mash the ripe banana with a fork until smooth. Add the eggs and whisk until fully incorporated.
Stir in the unsweetened almond milk, vanilla extract, and stevia or preferred sweetener until well combined with the banana mixture.
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, stirring until just combined. Be careful not to overmix the batter.
Gently fold the sugar-free dark chocolate chips into the batter using a spatula.
Spoon the batter evenly into the prepared muffin tin, filling each cup about two-thirds full.
Bake in the preheated oven for 18-20 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of a muffin comes out clean.
Remove the muffins from the oven and let them cool in the tin for about 5 minutes. Then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.
Enjoy these muffins as a low-carb treat that provides a healthy dose of protein and satisfies your chocolate cravings!
