Chocolate Protein Muffins


These vegan muffins are a great way to sneak protein into your diet. They are light, fluffy, and the chocolate taste disguises good-for-you ingredients like black beans, zucchini and flax seeds. Extra yummy!
Chocolate Protein Muffins 1 1/2 cups flour 1 teaspoon baking powder 2 teaspoons baking soda 3 Tablespoons cocoa powder 1/2 cup chocolate protein powder (I used Olympian Labs Pea Protein) 1/2 teaspoon salt 1 cup black beans, slightly mashed 1 cup cane sugar 2 Tablespoons apple cider vinegar 1/4 cup canola oil 2 Tablespoons flax seeds mixed into 1/4 cup water (mix before incorporating) 1 teaspoon vanilla extract 1 cup shredded zucchini 1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees. 2. Mix first six ingredients together in a large bowl. Mix next six ingredients in a separate bowl, and when just mixed, add wet ingredients to the dry ingredients in the large bowl. Add zucchini and incorporate completely. 3. Spoon ingredients into 12 prepared muffin liners. Bake for 30 minutes, or until a fork inserted into the center of a muffin comes out cleanly.
