Enjoying Food: Almond Chocolate Chip Protein Muffins

Here is Double Muffin Sunday Fun Day recipe #2! I'm italian, so my love for almond flavor is rooted deep within my soul… as is chocolate but that's a given. ;) These are wonderful and remind me so much of something my late grandma Estelle used to make when I was a little girl. She had the most beautiful smile and her laugh was so distinct… these muffins are very sentimental to me (can't you tell?) -- a little piece of Cait! Enjoy! <3 

ALMOND CHOCOLATE CHIP PROTEIN MUFFINS (makes about 6 muffins)
62 kcal -- 5.5P / 7C / 1F (for 1 muffin) ; 372 kcal -- 34P / 42C / 8F (for entire recipe)

Ingredients:
- 1 scoop cellular cookie dough whey (any whey would work though)
- 21g coconut flour
- 1/2 tsp baking powder
- 3/4 mashed banana heated for about 10 sec in microwave
- 10g dark chocolate chips
- 46g liquid egg whites
- 1 tsp almond extract
- stevia

Directions:
1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees.2. Heat 3/4 of a mashed banana in the microwave for about 10 seconds. Let cool till slightly warm.
3. Combine all ingredients in bowl and add stevia to taste (for your own personal preference of sweetness).
3. Add water to desired consistency. I'd say 3-4 tablespoons is good. You are wanting to achieve a cake batter consistency.
4. Spray muffin tin with pam, spoon in the batter, and place in oven.
5. Bake for 8 minutes, then check at 5 minute intervals with a toothpick. When the toothpick comes out clean (not gooey), you know the muffins are done!

These go great with a cup of coffee in the morning. Enjoy! <3
