They are so chocolatey and have the perfect texture, when you warm them up in a microwave for a couple of seconds they are actually perfect! Whether you’re after a midday/afternoon snack or a yummy dessert these muffins tick all the boxes!

- Add the flour, baking powder, cacao, protein powder and mix. Fold in the chocolate chips.
- Divide mixture across the muffin tin and bake for 18-20 minutes or until cooked.
- Let cool and enjoy – I recommend warming them up in the microwave for a couple of seconds before eating!
