Cook Time: 18-24 minutes

Servings: 12

Ingredients:

• 1 3/4 cup almond flour or almond meal
• 2/3 cup whey protein powder (Vanilla or Chocolate - I actually used Pumpkin Spice)
• 1/3 cup cocoa powder
• 1/4 cup chai or flax seed meal
• 2 tsp instant coffee granules
• 2 tsp baking powder
• 1/4 tsp salt
• 1/2 cup butter, softened
• 1/2 cup granulated swerve sweetner
• 3 eggs room temperature
• 1/2 cup unsweetened almond milk
• 1 tsp vanilla extract
• 1/2 cup sugar free chocolate chips

Directions:

1. Preheat oven to 325F and line a 12-cup muffin tin with paper liners.
2. In a medium bowl, whisk together almond meal, protein powder, cocoa powder, flax or chai seed meal, coffee, baking powder, baking soda and salt.
3. In a large bowl, beat butter with sweeter until smooth. Beat in eggs and vanilla extract.
4. Add half of almond flour mixture and beat until combined, then add almond milk. Add remaining almond flour mixture and beat until fully combined. Stir in the chocolate chips.
5. Divide batter between prepared muffin cups and bake for 18 to 24 minutes, until tops are set and a tester inserted into the middle comes out clean. Cool for 5 mins and transfer to cooling rack until desired temperature.
