These chocolate protein muffins are fudgy and oh so delicious. There’s no added sugar (sweetened only with bananas) and each muffin has 8 grams of protein!
Have you ever made blender muffins? Instead of using a stand mixer or mixing by hand, you can add the ingredients to your blender and blend away! Super simple. They’re perfect to make them on the weekend for a protein-filled breakfast or snack! Each muffin has 8 grams of protein so they will keep you full all morning long.
I love keeping a healthy sweet treat on hand to satisfy my sweet tooth. Pretty sure baby girl has one too but I have peace of mind knowing these muffins are packed with nutritious ingredients and a solid dose of protein. I don’t have baked goods around too often in our house so when I do make them, I want to make sure they’re 1) delicious and 2) good for me!
Ingredients in Double Chocolate Protein Muffins
- old-fashioned oats –iIf you need these muffins to be gluten-free, make sure you look for oats that say “gluten-free” on the package!
- bananas – the riper the better here. Bananas add a delicious flavor and help keep the muffins light and moist.
- chocolate whey protein powder – I highly recommend using whey protein powder for this recipe as plant-based protein powders tend to soak up more liquid and will result in a super thick muffin batter. I used Clean Simple Eats Brownie Batter protein powder for testing this recipe and it works great! Use code EBF for 10% off your order.
- almond milk – I like to use unsweetened so I can control the amount of sweetener I add to the recipe.
- eggs – to bind the ingredients together. I have tried this recipe with flax eggs, but I’ve found that the muffins turn out much better with regular eggs instead.
- dark chocolate chips – I recommend using Hu Kitchen’s no sugar added chocolate chips or Lily’s Dark Chocolate Chips. These options will keep the muffins lower in sugar!
How To Make Chocolate Protein Muffins
In a high powered blender, add the eggs, oats, banana, chocolate protein powder and almond milk and blend until smooth. Add in the baking soda and baking powder and blend again until combined. Use a spatula to gently stir in the chocolate chips and then scoop the muffin mix into a muffin tin lined with paper or silicone liners. Sprinkle extra chocolate chips on top of each muffin and bake in a preheated oven for 20 minutes (or until a toothpick comes out clean).

Double Chocolate Protein Muffins
Ingredients
- ¾ cup (98 grams) rolled old-fashioned oats
- 1 ½ (160 grams) ripe bananas
- 1 cup whey chocolate protein powder, use code EBF for 10% off
- ½ cup unsweetened almond milk, plus more as needed to blend
- 2 large eggs
- ½ teaspoon baking soda
- ½ teaspoon baking powder
- ¼ cup (52 grams) dark chocolate chips, plus more for topping*
- paper or silicone muffin liners
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350°F.
- Add oats, banana, chocolate protein powder, almond milk and eggs into a high powdered blender and blend until smooth. Add baking soda and baking powder. Blend until combined.
- Use a spatula to stir in chocolate chips and then transfer muffin mix into prepared muffin tin lined with paper or silicone liners. Muffin cavities should be filled about 3/4 of the way up and you should be able to fill 12 muffin cups. Sprinkle extra chocolate chips on top of each muffin.
- Bake muffins for 20 minutes or until a toothpick comes out clean.
Notes
- Protein powder – I highly recommend using a whey protein powder for this recipe. I’ve tried it with plant-based protein powders and they tend to soak up too much of the liquid so the batter is way too thick.
- Chocolate Chips – I recommend Hu Kitchen’s no sugar added chocolate chips or Lily’s Dark Chocolate Chips. These options will keep the muffins lower in sugar!

Just made these this morning except I used vanilla protein powder. They were a hit! So yummy and healthy!
These are gonna have to become a staple in our home ❣️
Yay! I’m so glad this recipe was a hit. Thanks for making it and for coming back to leave a review. I appreciate it!
Looks great! Cant wait to try. Think I could sub coco late collagen protein powder?
Hey Mara! I’m sure you could, but I haven’t tried it so I am not sure how the texture of the muffins will turn out. Let me know if you end up trying it and how they turn out.
We love this recipe in our house, my husband and kids always request it!! I have made this recipe with tribal chocolate plant protein about 3 times and the batter is much thick I usually just put a bit more milk and add a little bit of oil 1-2 tablespoons (extra virgin olive or coconut whatever is have) and only bake for 10 minutes and check them to see if another 1-2 minutes is required!
Also have made this with flavcity chocolate brownie grass fed whey protein and the batter is very runny at first I was worried because of the consistency but I baked it for 18 minutes and they were perfect I could have checked them at maybe 15-17 minutes but they were still delicious!! So I think what protein you use defiently makes a difference but I have tried both and have had success!
So glad to hear this recipe is a hit with your whole family—love that it’s a regular request! Thanks for sharing your experience with the different protein powders. It’s super helpful to know how the texture can vary and how you adjusted things to make it work. I totally agree—protein powder can definitely make a difference in the consistency, so I’m glad you were able to make both versions a success. Appreciate you taking the time to share and leave a review!
These were crazy dry and I followed the recipe exactly
Hi Lindsay – I’m so sorry to hear that! What type of protein powder did you use? Did you use a plant-based protein powder?
