Notes

Each muffin has about 7g of protein and 4g of fiber! 
Substitute chocolate chunks for chocolate chips or your other favorite additions.
Store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for 4-5 days. Perfect for meal prep! 
Use a high-powered blender for a smoother batter. I used a food processor with this recipe because I love the thicker texture with the chocolate chunks.
