Chocolate Protein Muffins Vegan

I love vegan high-protein recipes! They are so fulfilling and perfect for any time of the day to fix a quick craving with no guilt. Since I work out every day, I like to make my snacks contribute to my protein intake, so I always have either my Banana Protein Cookies, Protein Mug Cake, or Strawberry Protein Balls.

Why Adding Protein Powder To Muffins?

Let’s see how you can add protein powder to your muffins to make them even better for you. The key to making high-protein muffins is to use quality plant-based proteins like:

High-protein flour – oat flour is our favorite choice. We make our own homemade oat flour in a blender or food processor. High-protein milk – like protein-fortified soy milk or almond milk. Plant-based protein powder for a protein booster.

Ingredients and Substitutions

It’s super easy to make chocolate protein muffins using your favorite protein powder and a few basic ingredients. All you need to make these delicious healthy protein muffins are:

Unsweetened Soy Milk – We used protein-fortified soy milk to increase proteins in the recipe. Dairy-Free Yogurt – Any yogurt works well, but to keep the recipe dairy-free, we used soy yogurt. It’s as high in protein as regular Greek yogurt. Apple Cider Vinegar – To make it rise better. Oat Flour – Oat flour is naturally higher in protein than all-purpose flour and, therefore, the best choice to boost the protein in your muffins recipes. You can follow my oat flour recipe (it’s really easy to whip up) or buy it from the store. Unsweetened Cocoa Powder – Use an unsweetened version to make it easier to balance the sweetness. Chocolate Protein Powder – We used pea protein powder for this recipe. It also works fine for almond protein powder or peanut protein powder. Baking Powder – To give them their fluffy texture. Unrefined Cane Sugar or any granulate sweetener you love, including sugar-free erythritol or coconut sugar. Chocolate Chips – optional but delicious for a double chocolate flavor. Light Olive Oil or melted coconut oil. Vanilla Extract – for flavor. Salt – to boost the chocolate flavors.
