Ingredients
  

  • 1 ¼ cups whole wheat pastry flour or all-purpose
  • ½ cup vanilla or plain protein powder
  • 2 tsp baking powder
  • 1 tsp baking soda
  • ½ tsp cinnamon
  • ¼ tsp salt
  • ¾ cup coconut sugar or light brown sugar
  • cup plain Greek yogurt
  • ½ cup avocado oil or any neutral oil
  • 2 large eggs room temperature
  • 2 tsp vanilla extract
  • ½ cup mini chocolate chips

Equipment

  • 1 12-cup muffin tin with paper liners
  • 1 Mixing bowls one for wet one for dry
  • 1 Whisk

Method
 

  1. Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a 12-cup muffin tin with paper liners.
  2. Whisk the flour, protein powder, baking powder, baking soda, cinnamon, and salt in a medium bowl.
  3. In a separate bowl, whisk the coconut sugar, Greek yogurt, oil, eggs, and vanilla until smooth.
  4. Stir the dry into the wet until almost combined, then fold in the chocolate chips until just combined. Don’t overmix.
  5. Divide between the 12 cups and bake 14–16 minutes, until a toothpick comes out clean. Cool 5 minutes before removing.

Notes

Storage: keep in an airtight container at room temperature for 3–4 days (don’t refrigerate — it dries them out). Freeze up to 3 months; thaw on the counter or microwave 20 seconds.
 
Protein powder: a whey or whey-casein blend bakes most reliably. Use a vanilla or plain powder you already like in a shake.
 
No protein powder? Swap it for an equal amount of oat or almond flour. Mini muffins: bake 9–11 min. Jumbo: bake 20–24 min.
