Chocolate Mocha Protein Muffins

Mocha Chocolate Protein Muffins

Ladies, if you are looking for the most perfect grab-and-go breakfast for those frantic weekday morning, THIS recipe is for you! 😉

These Mocha Chocolate Protein Muffins are everything you could ever ask for for a healthy and satisfying breakfast. They’re high in protein, low in fat, and have just the right amount of chocolatey mocha flavor!

They are also super easy to make, and only take 30 minutes from start to finish. They even freeze really well if you can’t make it through and entire dozen by yourself in one week!

For this recipe you simply mix together all of your wet ingredients, then your dry ingredients, and mix the two. Add in some dark chocolate chips, and you have a triple chocolate mocha muffin!

For my protein powder I’m using my favorite Manitoba Harvest Hemp Pro70 in chocolate, but any GOOD QUALITY chocolate protein powder will work just fine. 🙂 I love Manitoba Harvest because it’s only made with FOUR all-natural ingredients, and tastes amazing!

  2. Hi Suzanne! You can definitely use almond flour for this recipe, and yes regular cocoa powder is fine — as long as it’s the unsweetened kind! 🙂 I’d love to know how they turn out with the almond flour, let me know here or in the FB group!
