Nothing better than a good muff.
I’ve been on a MUFF kick. Ear muffs, muffins, and….. well, I guess thats it. But I must say, these were some top shelf muffs.
I’m a little nutty (pun intended) about the contents of my “treats”, and this one had some prime ingredients with zero added crap. They definitely air on the ‘darker chocolate’ side in terms of being less sweet and slightly bitter. Cakey on the outsides and fudgy on the insides. Mmmmm mmm goood.
This recipe is the bomb if you are looking for quick morning muff, an easy and nutritious snack to bring along, or warmed-up and covered in peanut butter and some coconut cream 🙂 Not going to lie, I usually and up eating the whole batch on my own…. in 2 days or less… it’s a problem. But here’s what I remind myself…
Cacao Powder – digestion,
Pea Protein Powder –
Walnuts –
Now that I’ve made you feel fine about your decision to overindulge, let’s prep.
NUTTY CACAO MUFFINS
Ingredients:
- 2 eggs
- 1/2 cup walnuts
- 1/2 cup unsweetened original pea milk
- 1/4 cup + 1 T walnut butter
- 1/4 cup + 2 T peanut butter
- 1/4 cup Extra Virgin Coconut Oil
- 4 T vanilla stevia syrup
- 1/2 cup pea protein powder
- 1/4 cup cacao powder
- 1/2 tsp baking powder
- 1/2 tsp salt
- Cacao rounds
Toppings (optional – *per serving – add fresh when serving):
- Peanut butter
- Coconut cream
- Whole walnuts
Instructions:
- Preheat oven to 375 degrees.
- In a powerful blender (I use a vitamix), blend eggs, walnuts, pea milk, walnut butter, peanut butter, coconut oil and vanilla stevia syrup
- In a separate bowl, combine all the remaining dry ingredients (protein powder, cacao powder, baking powder, salt). Scoop the mixture from the mixer into the dry ingredient bowl and mix well to create the batter
- Spoon the batter evenly into greased muffin tin; press 1 cacao nib round into the center of each muffin, then push some of the batter over top of it to cover it up
- Bake for approximately 10 minutes, let cool (or not if you simply can’t wait to indulge), top with your favs, and enjoy!
