Easy chocolate protein muffins. They are rich, delicious, and completely satisfying. A perfect on-the-go breakfast or post-workout snack.

These are my go-to muffins when it comes to grabbing something quick. They make a great on the go breakfast, dessert, snack or post workout snack. They are loaded with protein and fibre, with 6.4 grams of protein per serving. They are rich, delicious, and completely satisfying.

I usually bake a big batch to meal prep on the weekend and enjoy them during the week.

You can see exactly how I make these health muffins in the video below.

I use pea protein powder as I find this to be the best protein powder, however I have made these vegan chocolate protein muffins with different protein powders and they came out perfect every time.
