Metric - US Standard

Instructions

Preheat oven to 190°C/ 375°F.
Melt the butter and add it to a bowl with the brown sugar. Add the mashed banana, eggs and milk, whisk to combine.
Next, add the protein powder, cocoa powder, flour, baking powder and salt. Once mixed, fold in the chocolate chips.
Divide into 10 muffin cases and bake for 20-25 minutes.

Notes

Don’t overmix. Stir just until everything’s combined to keep the muffins fluffy.

Let them cool fully before storing to stop condensation and keep their texture just right.

If you don't like bananas, you can use 200ml Greek yogurt instead.

Check the chocolate protein muffins early. Slightly underbaked means gooey centres and the best texture.

You can add a few extra chocolate chips after dividing into the muffin cases for the best-looking result. Or you could also hold half of the chips back before stirring them in if you don’t want to increase the calories.
