Sasa's Chocolate Peanut Butter Protein Bites

This is a favorite among my teenage athletes for a before-practice snack. I fill baggies with these and throw them in the freezer. The kids grab a baggie on the way to school and the mini muffins are thawed out and ready to eat before the end of the day.

Ingredients

• 1 teaspoon baking soda
• ½ cup white sugar
• 1 cup peanut butter
• 1 cup all-purpose flour
• 1 cup milk
• ½ cup vegetable oil
• 3 eggs
• ¼ cup unsweetened cocoa powder
• 1 cup whole wheat flour
• ½ cup plain yogurt
• 1 cup chocolate chips
• ½ cup vanilla whey protein powder

Recipe Instructions

Step 1

Preheat oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C). Grease mini muffin cups.

Step 2

Combine whole wheat flour, all-purpose flour, chocolate chips, protein powder, sugar, cocoa powder, and baking soda in a large bowl.

Step 3

Whisk milk, peanut butter, eggs, oil, and yogurt in another bowl until smooth. Pour over flour mixture and stir until batter is just blended. Fill muffin cups 3/4 of the way full.

Step 4

Bake in the preheated oven until a toothpick inserted into the centers comes out clean, about 10 minutes. Cool in the muffin pans for 10 minutes before removing to a wire rack until completely cooled, about 20 minutes.
