These double chocolate chip mini protein muffins are a mom-approved, kid-friendly snack packed with protein—perfect for busy mornings, lunchboxes, or guilt-free treats!
EQUIPMENT:
- Mixing bowl
- Whisk
- Mini mufifn pan
- Small cookie scoop
- Mini muffin pan liners
- Pastry brush *optional
- 1 1/2 C Unbleached flour
- 1/4 C whey protein (chocolate or vanilla)
- 3 1/2 T Cocoa powder
- 1/2 C sugar
- 1 t baking powder
- 1/4 t salt
- 1 t baking soda
- 1/3 C butter, melted and cooled
- 2 large eggs
- 1 1/2 t vanilla extract
- 1 C milk
- 1 C semi-sweet or dark chocolate chips. Full-size or mini.
- Preheat your oven to 350°
- Melt 1/3 cup butter
- Whisk your dry ingredients together: 1/2 cups flour, 1/4 cup protein powder, 3 1/2 tablespoons cocoa powder, and 1/2 cup sugar in your large mixing bowl
- Add in 2 eggs, 1 cup milk, 1/3 cup melted butter, and 1/2 teaspoons vanilla extract
- Stir in 1 cup (or more 😉) chocolate chips
- Prepare your muffin pan, either with cupcake liners or by using a pastry brush to grease your cups with the residual butter from the butter-melting bowl
- Use your cookie scoop to transfer batter into each muffin cup.
- Batch bake your mini muffins for 8-10 minutes at a time. I normally get 2 1/2 pans worth of muffins.
- Remove the mini muffins from the oven and let them cool in the pan for 2 minutes before transferring to a cooling rack.
- Store at room temp for up to 5 days in an airtight container or in the freezer for up to 2 months.

Oreo Balls have been a Pennington family staple since Abby showed me how to make them. A party favorite, these are great for movie nights, bridal & baby showers, Super Bowl parties, tailgates, and more!

These yummy egg-free brownies came from a desperate need for chocolate when my college roommate and I were super budget-conscious and our fridge was pretty empty. There are more steps than brownies from a box, but these from-scratch brownies are worth the work! If you're used to super-moist brownies, these will surprise you; they're are a little drier and a little more cake-like. Since making these, I find other brownies far too sweet.
Give this recipe a try and let me know what you think!
