As with my Ultimate Protein Pancakes, I’ve always found it difficult to get a decent texture out of any baked protein goods. They always came out too dry or just sunk into a stodgy, unpalatable mess. They tasted nothing like muffins.
(I still ate them as I hate wasting food!).
Trying to replace traditional flour with a “healthier” alternative is tough because the baking properties are completely different but I think I’ve finally found the answer with these Double Chocolate Protein Muffins.
You may think these ingredients are tough to get hold of but they seem to be coming more and more readily available in big supermarkets, health food shops such as Holland and Barrett and now online at Musclefood so there really are no excuses!

Recipe Notes
Can swap out casein for whey if you don't have any but reduce cooking time by a couple of minutes to avoid dryness.
