It’s no secret, as you all can tell, chocolate and peanut butter are two of my favorite things in this world. I really got the craving for a muffin or some sort of cake earlier this week, but I didn’t have a lot of time. I decided to make these quick chocolate peanut butter protein muffins. When I say quick, I mean it. Blend all the ingredients together in a blender. Put the batter in some silicone muffin molds, and microwave.

Yes, you heard that right. You microwave these muffins. I’ve made microwave cakes (mug cakes) before, but never muffins. Why? I have no idea. They are just as delicious, easier, and you can eat them quicker!

 

I, once again, used the new Ascent chocolate peanut butter protein powder. If you can’t tell, it’s my new favorite flavor! I used a scoop of the casein as well as a scoop of the whey. I wouldn’t recommend using all whey or all casein as it will change the texture quite a bit. If you have a protein blend that has both casein and whey in it, you could just use two scoops of that!

 

Anyway, these muffins turned out awesome. I wasn’t super sure how the texture would be from microwaving them. They actually turned out really moist and fluffy (as any good muffin should be)! Just be careful that you don’t microwave them too long. When making desserts with protein, they can tend to dry out easily. I prefer a little bit of a gooey texture, and prefer leaving them a bit underdone.

 

These will be perfect for any time you are wanting something quick and easy to make for a protein treat, snack, or even a grab and go breakfast. And that chocolate drizzle and honey roasted peanuts on top definitely finishes off the chocolate peanut butter combo perfectly!
