Inspired by Chocolate Covered Katie’s High Protein Cake
Yields: 6 muffins
Ingredients:
- 96 grams of vanilla protein powder
- 1/2 cup applesauce
- 1 egg
- 1/2 mashed avocado
- 1/4 cup water
- 1/2 tsp baking powder
- 1/2 tsp vanilla
- pinch of salt
- pinch of cinnamon
- sweetener to taste*
- *I use stevia sweetened rice protein powder, and it’s sweet enough on its own. So I skip any added sweetener.
Directions:
- Pre-heat oven to 350°.
- Combine protein powder, baking powder, salt, and cinnamon.
- In a separate bowl, whisk egg and then add to dry ingredients.
- Stir in remaining ingredients and pour into a greased muffin tin. Bake for 30 minutes.
- Allow to cool and store in fridge.

These look awesome! (Well actually, they don’t really look awesome, they just sound awesome. l0l) I am excited to try them. I have been craving some kind of peanut butter muffin – I wonder if adding peanut butter would work! Thanks for the recipe.
Natalie, I would sub 2 TBSP peanut butter for the avocado. You’ll lose the green, but I bet they would be delicious!
I just wanted to share that I did try these in a loaf pan with peanut butter – about a 1/2 C. + 1 Tbsp instead of the avocado which I didn’t have on hand, and it was yummy!! It needs more peanut butter to have more pb taste, so I need to play with that. Also wanted to say that your pictures are great, and the muffins do look yummy to me – I was just joking about the green.
Natalie, Oops, just saw your second comment – that much PB, huh? Good to know, and so glad you enjoyed the muffins…green or not.
If you used sunflower seed butter, they would turn green when you bake them. Can’t remember why, but for some reason sunflower seed butter cookies always come out green. So glad you tried the recipe. Enjoy the rest of your Sunday!
After ages of wanting to make these, and about a million other things you make – for that matter, I FINALLY made them today! My first HEAB recipe!
I didn’t use all brown rice protein powder (mine is a mix of pea, hemp and brown rice), so I think my texture was a little different than yours. Next time I want to try all brown rice to see how that changes. Also, I used chunky applesauce and lots of cinnamon (love the stuff) which turned out really yummy and apple-cinnamony! I also was thinking of putting carrots and raisins (not toooo many) to make them kind of carrot cake-ish.
Love these! Can’t wait to make more and play
Heather,
I just made these (with chocolate protein powder). At first I was hesitant, but I gave them a day to settle and now the taste is wonderful! Who knew! I am trying to get more fat into my everyday diet, and these really help!
Next time I am going to try a different protein powder and maybe throw in some added dark cocoa powder and walnuts.
