Ingredients:

  1. 2 cups Kodiak Chocolate Protein Pancake Mix: This protein-packed base adds a wholesome touch to your muffins, contributing to a satisfying snack that won’t compromise your wellness goals.
  2. 1/2 cup unsweetened applesauce: A natural sweetener and moisture-enhancing ingredient that complements the chocolate flavor without adding unnecessary sugars.
  3. 1/4 cup dark cocoa powder: Elevate the richness of your muffins with the deep, indulgent notes of dark cocoa powder, providing a luxurious chocolate experience.
  4. 1/2 cup unsweetened almond milk: A dairy-free alternative that maintains the moisture of the muffins while keeping them light and fluffy.
  5. 1/4 cup honey or maple syrup: A touch of natural sweetness to enhance the overall flavor profile, ensuring your muffins are a delightful treat.
  6. 2 large eggs: These act as binding agents, contributing to the structure of the muffins while adding a boost of protein.
  7. 1 teaspoon vanilla extract: Infuse a hint of vanilla to balance and round off the chocolate flavor, creating a harmonious taste.
  8. 1/2 cup dark chocolate chips: Elevate the chocolatey experience with decadent dark chocolate chips, ensuring each bite is a burst of rich, melty goodness.

Instructions:

  1. Preheat your oven: Set it to 350°F (175°C) and line a muffin tin with paper liners or lightly grease each cup.
  2. Prepare the dry ingredients: In a large bowl, whisk together the Kodiak Chocolate Protein Pancake Mix and dark cocoa powder until well combined.
  3. Combine wet ingredients: In a separate bowl, whisk together the applesauce, almond milk, honey or maple syrup, eggs, and vanilla extract.
  4. Create the batter: Gently fold the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients until just combined. Be cautious not to overmix; a slightly lumpy batter is preferable.
  5. Incorporate chocolate chips: Carefully fold in the dark chocolate chips, distributing them evenly throughout the batter.
  6. Fill muffin cups: Spoon the batter into the prepared muffin cups, filling each about two-thirds full.
  7. Bake to perfection: Place the muffin tin in the preheated oven and bake for 18-20 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
  8. Cool and enjoy: Allow the muffins to cool in the tin for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely. Once cooled, savor each delightful bite.
