Double Chocolate Protein Muffins

I am always trying to add an extra punch of nutrition to my kids treats in their lunches. One on littles isn’t a fan of bananas which is how I usually add the sweet taste without adding refined sugar. They stopped wanting homemade treats. I have been experimenting with other recipes. Trying to find a homemade treat that I could add to their lunch. I have been playing around with adding protein powder to help with satiety and to help boost their protein intake. This recipe was is a new fan fav!
