Raspberry High Protein Muffin Recipe

The other day I had a huge craving for muffins. Yet I wasn’t about to go to a bakery and buy one full of sugar and flour—I wanted to make my own.

I thought about making these apple cinnamon protein muffins, but since it’s not exactly apple season, I decided to branch out and try making some blueberry ones.

But when I went to the store to try and buy some blueberries, they were completely out! That’s when I saw the raspberries (on sale, thanks Safeway), and an idea popped into my head: how about raspberry protein muffins?

So, I bought some raspberries and put together these muffins. They turned out INCREDIBLE!

Slightly sweet, wonderfully tender, and bursting with flavor, they’re all I’ve ever wanted in a muffin and more. Plus, they’re packed with protein and healthy ingredients to keep you full and satisfied whether you eat them for breakfast, as a pre-workout snack, or anytime of the day.

Here’s the recipe:

Dark Chocolate Protein Cupcakes With Peanut Butter Greek Yogurt Frosting

Who can say no to a cupcake?

Actually, I can. Most cupcakes are loaded with sugar, flour, and unhealthy ingredients. And though I can never turn down a slice of homemade pie or a really good chocolate chip cookie—cupcakes are one of those foods that I’m pretty good at avoiding most of the time.

Until now. Because not only do these chocolate cupcakes have no flour or added refined sugar, they’re also full of protein and good carbs like oats. Their texture is moist and delicious, and can even be eaten for breakfast (as I just did), they’re so healthy.

And the frosting… mmm the frosting. The frosting makes these cupcakes go from pretty good cake to amazing cupcakes.
