Nutrition (per 1 frosted muffin – 1/6th of total)
Ingredients for batter
- 80g chocolate cake box mix (I used the Betty Crocker one)
- 60g chocolate protein powder (protein blends work best – I used Grenade Hydra)
- 120ml Coke Zero (or your choice of diet soda)
- 30g egg whites
Ingredients for frosting
- 100g low fat cream cheese
- Scoop of vanilla protein powder
1 tbsp of granulated sweetener (optional)
- A small splash of milk, if the frosting is too thick
Method
- Preheat oven to 170 C Fan.
- Mix all the ingredients until smooth.
- Spray a muffin tray with non stick spray and fill each hole about 2/3 full (I got 6 muffins out of the batter).
- Bake for around 12-15 mins (mine were done in 12 mins – try not to overcook, as doing so will dry out the muffins).
- Frost or eat plain .
