It has been a while since I have mad a recipe. I left for Arizona Thursday morning last week and got back Monday morning and I just got around to making another recipe last night. It has been too long! I figured why not go for something simple and delicious like chocolate chip protein muffins?

I decided to go for mini muffins on this recipe. There is just something I like about making a bunch of mini muffins and then being able to ea three or four muffins instead of one. I know it is still the same amount of food. It’s just a mental thing I guess! After I made them last night, I had a bowl of Greek yogurt and added 4 muffins to it. :)

The cool part about these muffins are that I used beans for the base. Before you say gross, let me tell you that beans are awesome to cook with. If you have not tried it, I highly recommend it. There is actually only 3 tbsp. of flour in this recipe and I am sure you could get away with no flour at all by just using oats instead of the flour. Another great part about using beans is that they are packed with protein and fiber.

Of course just beans wouldn’t taste very good so I added some Musclepharm vanilla combat powder to boost the flavor and the protein. I’m sure their cinnamon bun, snickerdoodle, or cookies and cream combat powders would have been awesome in this too!

If you would rather make regular size muffins, this recipe will make about 12 normal sized muffins. Or you could even make 6-8 jumbo muffins. The cooking time will be longer. They will probably need around 15 minutes if you make regular muffins. Make sure to poke them with a toothpick or knife, and when it comes out clean, they are done.
