Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup whole wheat flour
  • 1/2 cup peanut butter powder
  • 1/4 cup protein powder (vanilla or unflavored)
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 cup honey or maple syrup
  • 1/4 cup unsweetened applesauce
  • 1/4 cup milk (dairy or non-dairy)
  • 1 large egg
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • Optional mix-ins: chocolate chips, chopped nuts, berries

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a muffin tin with paper liners or grease it well.
  2. In a large bowl, whisk together the whole wheat flour, peanut butter powder, protein powder, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
  3. In a separate medium bowl, whisk together the honey or maple syrup, applesauce, milk, egg, and vanilla extract until well combined.
  4. Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and stir until just combined. Do not overmix.
  5. Gently fold in any optional mix-ins like chocolate chips or nuts.
  6. Divide the batter evenly among the muffin cups, filling each about two-thirds full.
  7. Bake for 18-20 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of a muffin comes out clean.
  8. Let the muffins cool in the tin for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.

Notes

  • For a richer peanut butter flavor, you can add 2 tablespoons of creamy peanut butter to the wet ingredients.
  • Ensure your protein powder is suitable for baking.
  • These muffins can be stored in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days or in the refrigerator for up to a week.
