Protein-cupcakes

The chocolate muffins:

Chocolate Chocolate Chip Cupcakes (or Muffins)

1 1/2 cups flour
2 tsp baking soda
1/2 tsp cinnamon
1/4 tsp black pepper
1/4 teaspoon sea salt
1/2 cup cocoa
1 cup chocolate chips
1 egg
3/4 cup whole milk or kefir (filmjölk)
3/4 cup agave
2 Tbsp sweetener
1/3 cup coconut oil
1 tsp vanilla
Peanut Butter
3/4 scoop of Chocolate Protein Powder
Directions:
Preheat Oven to 350 degrees and line your muffin pan with white cupcake papers (no died colored ones..died colored papers and not natural 🙂

In a medium bowl, mix together flour, baking soda, cinnamon, pepper,salt, protein powder, cocoa powder, and Chocolate chips with a whisk. (coating the chocolate chips with the flour helps them from sinking to the bottom of the muffin liner when baking)
Add agave, eggs, milk or kefir ,oil, and vanilla and stir until moist.

Fill the cupcake papers half way with batter and bake. Dill the liners 1/4 of the way just covering the bottoms with batter, place about a tsp or more of peanut butter in the middle and then top with more batter. The liners with be about 2/3 full with the peanut butter in them.
Bake for 20-30 min or until a cake tester or toothpick comes out clean.
