Making these muffins is super simple, and the best part? They’re packed with plant-based protein and nutritious ingredients while still being irresistibly delicious! Let’s get started.
First things first—preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grab your muffin tin and line it with paper liners or give it a light spray of nonstick oil to prevent sticking.
In a medium mixing bowl, whisk together:
✔ Gluten-free flour
✔ Baking soda
✔ Salt
✔ Flaxseed meal (optional, but highly recommended for extra nutrients!)
✔ Hemp seeds (another optional but fantastic nutrient boost!)
✔ Vegan vanilla protein powder
Make sure everything is well combined so your muffins have an even texture.
In a separate bowl, mix your vegan egg replacer:
Now comes the fun part! Pour the wet ingredients into the bowl with the dry ingredients. Stir gently until just combined—don’t overmix, or your muffins may turn out dense.
Finally, fold in the vegan chocolate chips to distribute that delicious chocolatey goodness throughout the batter.
Spoon the batter into your prepared muffin tin, filling each cup about 3/4 full. This ensures they rise perfectly without overflowing.
Pop your muffins into the oven and bake for about 20 minutes. You’ll know they’re done when a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
Let your muffins cool for a few minutes before digging in. These are perfect with your morning coffee, as a grab-and-go snack, or as a healthier sweet treat anytime!
Now, go ahead—take a bite and enjoy these fluffy, chocolatey, protein-packed muffins!
