chocolatey chippity chunkity muffins

naturally sweetened with cocoa powder, banana and apple sauce, these muffins are packed to the brim with proteins (powder, Fage yogurt, egg whites), chocolate, superfoods, and...more chocolate!). they taste fantastic with morning coffee, post work-out fuel, or even after healthy dinner to satisfy that sweet tooth!

the process

Instructions:

preheat oven to 350 degrees.
mash the banana in a large bowl. add in the remaining "wet" ingredients (egg whites, apple sauce, yogurt, milk). stir well.
blend the old fashion oats in a food processor or blender to make 'oat flour'. pour oat flour into a medium bowl. add in remaining 'dry' ingredients (protein powder, cocoa powder, baking powder, baking soda, salt, collagen, superfood greens).
pour batter in cupcake liners (use foil or silicon) until 3/4 full.
bake for 12-15 minutes.
remove from the oven and let cool. I then drizzle the nut-butter combo on top. Enjoy!
