Chocolate Chip Muffins

My impromptu muffin making ended up being quite successful today, gauging by by son who has eaten about 10 of these little babies! I know that is a bit excessive, but true none the less!!

After being away for the weekend and coming back to a pantry that needs filling, I had to get a little more creative than usual! Which is actually always super fun! Especially when it works out in my favour!

These little yummy muffins are definitely a treat and on the dessert side as there is a hearty dose of maple syrup sweetening them, so make sure you are still getting your greens! However, they are also filled with some pretty amazing ingredients that keep things in balance!

Oats, flax seed, plant based protein, coconut cream… We can live with those right????

I have been experimenting with adding plant based protein powder into my baked goods to really boost my 2 littles protein intake and I have found that in the right combo it can add a really delicious flavour and texture!

I used Juice Plus Complete French Vanilla. The link to info for Juice Plus is below. Incredible product!!

I LOVE this product and LOVE the flavour which honestly, I am REALLY picky about when it comes to protein powders. 

Enough said! On to amazing recipe delivery!!!
