CHOCOLATE PROTEIN BROWNIE MUFFINS

Chocolate Protein Brownie Muffins! Low carb, gluten & grain free, zero sugar.
If you have brownie cravings you need to try these. You can't really mess it up and you can add in some of your other favorite mix-ins too.
Tip: Try to make it a few times playing with the baking time. For example, we like them gooey sometimes in the middle but also enjoy them as a more dense/cake-like texture too. You can also just make your own cashew butter if we don't have store bought like I did. Enjoy!

Ingredients
  

  • 1 cup cashew butter or can use almond butter or sunflower seed butter. *The more drippy the better for texture
  • 3 eggs
  • 2 scoops chocolate collagen powder or protein powder. If you don't have can use just cacao powder
  • 1/3 cup sugar sub I like alluose or monk fruit
  • 1-2 tbsp cacao powder I like dark like Wild Cocoa Powder
  • 1/2 tsp baking powder
  • tiny hit of sea salt
  • 1/4-1/3 cup @lilys_sweets chocolate chips

Instructions
 

  • Preheat oven to 350 F. Mix everything in a bowl until well combined. This is a very thick batter. Spoon info 9 muffin tins or you could make them into mini muffins too.
  • Bake 15-17 mins. If you want them more gooey in the inside, keep your eye on them and check at 15 mins. If you want them more cake like then bake around 17 mins or longer. Enjoy!
