Ingredients:
- 1 cup (120g) white whole wheat flour
- ⅓ cup (40g) SFH chocolate protein powder
- 1/2 cup (40g) Dutch-process unsweetened cocoa powder
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 cup (112g) olive oil
- 1 cup (145g) coconut sugar
- 2 large eggs (100g) (room temperature)
- 1 cup (255g) full-fat plain Greek yogurt, room temperature
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1/4 cup (60g) “Private Selection” dark chocolate chunks
Filling Ingredients - ¼ cup (60g) “Private Selection” dark chocolate chunks
- 1 scoop (32g) SFH chocolate protein powder
- 3 tablespoons hot water
- 1 teaspoon olive oil
Instructions:
- Preheat oven to 425 degrees F. Line the muffin pan with parchment liners.
- To a medium bowl, add flour, ⅓ cup (40g) of the SFH protein powder, cocoa powder, baking soda and salt and whisk until well combined.
- To a large bowl, add ½ cup olive oil, coconut sugar, eggs, yogurt and vanilla extract. Mix until smooth.
- Add dry ingredients to wet and stir until no streaks of flour remain, taking care not to overmix. Fold in ¼ cup of the chocolate chunks.
- Portion batter evenly into the muffin pan. Bake for 5 minutes at 425 degrees F then turn down the oven temperature to 350 degrees F (leaving the muffins in the oven). Bake for 9-12 more minutes or until a paring knife inserted in the center comes out clean.
- Meanwhile, make the filling: add the remaining ¼ cup chocolate chunks, 1 scoop (32g) protein powder to a medium bowl. Pour 3 tablespoons hot water over the top and stir until smooth. Add in the remaining 1 teaspoon olive oil and stir one more time to incorporate. Let stand. Once muffins are cool enough to handle, cut a small hole in the top about ½” deep and spoon filling evenly into each.
Notes:
- Store these muffins in an airtight container. Best enjoyed within two days.
- Use any brand of chocolate chunk desired.
