Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1/2 cup peanut butter powder
  • 1 scoop vanilla or unflavored protein powder
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 cup unsweetened applesauce
  • 1/4 cup maple syrup
  • 1/4 cup milk (dairy or non-dairy)
  • 1 large egg
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • Optional mix-ins: chocolate chips, chopped peanuts, banana slices

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a muffin tin with paper liners or grease it well.
  2. In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, peanut butter powder, protein powder, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
  3. In a separate medium bowl, whisk together the applesauce, maple syrup, milk, egg, and vanilla extract until well combined.
  4. Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and stir until just combined. Be careful not to overmix.
  5. Gently fold in any optional mix-ins you are using.
  6. Divide the batter evenly among the 12 muffin cups, filling each about two-thirds full.
  7. Bake for 18-22 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of a muffin comes out clean.
  8. Let the muffins cool in the tin for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.

Notes

  • For a richer peanut butter flavor, you can add 2 tablespoons of creamy peanut butter to the wet ingredients.
  • Feel free to experiment with different types of protein powder, like whey or plant-based options.
  • If you don’t have peanut butter powder, you can substitute it with an equal amount of all-purpose flour, but the peanut butter flavor will be less pronounced.
