Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1/2 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
  • 1 scoop chocolate protein powder
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 cup granulated sugar
  • 1/4 cup brown sugar
  • 1/2 cup unsweetened applesauce
  • 1/4 cup vegetable oil
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1/2 cup milk
  • 1/2 cup chocolate chips (optional)

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease or line a 12-cup muffin tin.
  2. In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, cocoa powder, protein powder, baking soda, baking powder, and salt.
  3. In a separate bowl, whisk together the granulated sugar, brown sugar, applesauce, vegetable oil, eggs, and vanilla extract until well combined.
  4. Add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients and mix until just combined. Do not overmix.
  5. Gently fold in the milk and chocolate chips if using. The batter will be thick.
  6. Divide the batter evenly among the prepared muffin cups, filling each about two-thirds full.
  7. Bake for 18-22 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of a muffin comes out clean.
  8. Let the muffins cool in the tin for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.

Notes

  • For a richer chocolate flavor, use dark cocoa powder.
  • Adjust the sweetness by adding more or less sugar to your preference.
  • Feel free to add nuts or berries for extra texture and flavor.
