• 0.25 cup Stevia or preferred low-carb sweetener

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a 12-cup muffin tin with paper liners or grease with a non-stick spray.

Step 2

In a medium bowl, mix together the almond flour, cocoa powder, baking powder, salt, and protein powder until well combined.

Step 3

In a separate large bowl, mash the ripe banana with a fork until smooth. Add the eggs and whisk until fully incorporated.

Step 4

Stir in the unsweetened almond milk, vanilla extract, and stevia or preferred sweetener until well combined with the banana mixture.

Step 5

Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, stirring until just combined. Be careful not to overmix the batter.

Step 6

Gently fold the sugar-free dark chocolate chips into the batter using a spatula.

Step 7

Spoon the batter evenly into the prepared muffin tin, filling each cup about two-thirds full.

Step 8

Bake in the preheated oven for 18-20 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of a muffin comes out clean.

Step 9

Remove the muffins from the oven and let them cool in the tin for about 5 minutes. Then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.

Step 10

Enjoy these muffins as a low-carb treat that provides a healthy dose of protein and satisfies your chocolate cravings!
