And what better way than a tasty chocolate chip muffin? Not only are these muffins packed with 11 grams of protein each, but they are seriously so quick and easy to whip up. I was all prepared to make protein muffins with flour, but then I remembered how well almond butter works as a flour substitute like in my healthy zucchini muffins and flourless pumpkin muffins, so I ended up using almond butter as the base in this protein muffin recipe. And let me tell ya, these muffins turned out so good — they’re so fluffy and soft and the flavor is spot on! Not only does the almond butter add extra protein, but it keeps these muffins oil-free, gluten-free and grain-free. They’re gluten-free, grain-free, dairy-free and oil-free!
