Double Chocolate Protein Muffins
They say the perfect muffin batter shouldn't be too liquid, nor too thick. It should stick to your spoon and slowly drip, like pudding. It makes perfectly moist and cakey muffins. That is exactly the type of texture I wanted my batter to have and after a few adjustments, I finally came up with the perfect recipe for protein-packed but also deliciously decadent chocolate muffins.
These muffins are 100% healthy. They do not contain any refined flours or processed sugars. Every single ingredient in this recipe is unrefined and plant-based, except for the eggs, which can easily be replaced with flax eggs. You will also need to buy the right chocolate chips for your diet. These are also optional. So if you'd prefer an even healthier version of this recipe then yes, you can skip the chocolate chips, although I think it'd be a crime. Seriously.
Also, let's talk a bit about the nutritional value of these little bad boys. I mean, everyone's heard about antioxidants now. It is common knowledge that you NEED them in order to be healthy and to prevent a plethora of diseases.
