Equipment

1 large bowl
1 muffin pan

Ingredients

1 cup applesauce
2 eggs
1/4 cup creamy peanut butter unsweetened (or any nut/seed butter)
1 cup almond flour
1/2 cup vanilla protein powder
1 teaspoon baking powder
1/2 cup chocolate chips optional

Instructions

Preheat oven to 350° Fahrenheit and line a muffin tin with muffin liners.

Fold in the chocolate chips (or any other mix-in you’d like!), then scoop ¼ cup of muffin batter into each muffin liner. Bake the muffins for 20-25 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted down the center of a muffin comes out clean.
Remove the muffins from the oven and let cool completely before storing or enjoying!
