Servings: 12
Calories: 245
Ingredients
- 1 Cup Vanilla Protein Powder (I used Vanilla Premiere Protein)
- 2 ½ Cups almond flour (see my favorite on Amazon)
- 1 teaspoon Baking soda
- ¼ teaspoon Kosher salt
- ½ Cup sugar free granulated sweetener (see my favorite on Amazon) see notes
- 4 Large Eggs
- 8 ounces plain Greek Yogurt see notes
- 2 teaspoons Vanilla Extract
- 1 Cup Sugar free Chocolate Chips see notes
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 400F and line a 12 cup muffin pan with liners. Spray the inside of the liners with cooking spray.
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the dry ingredients: almond flour, protein powder, baking soda, salt and sweetener. Mix until all your ingredients are combined.
- Stir in the wet ingredients: eggs, greek yogurt and vanilla extract. Mix until all your ingredients are combined. Fold in the chocolate chips. Scoop the batter into the muffin cups evenly. The muffin liners will be full.
- Bake in the oven for 12-15 minutes or until a toothpick has a few crumbs. You really want to pull these muffins just as they are cooked through or even a little under so they do not dry out. Let cool for 10 minutes before serving.
Notes
- Sweetener: you do not have to use a sugar free sweetener for this recipe. I prefer no added sugar for low carb, b you could use coconut sugar.
- Greek Yogurt: plain fat free Greek Yogurt was used for this recipe but you could use full fat as well.
- Chocolate chips: In place of the chocolate chips you could use blueberries, nuts, white chocolate chips, or peanut butter chips.
- Storage: Let come to room temperature then store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to a week. These freeze really well for up to 3 months in an airtight container or a ziplock bag made for the freezer.
