Low carb, chocolate protein muffins - a great Paleo snack or grab-n-go breakfast. Kid friendly, low in sugar, moist and fluffy!

Notes
For best results, I recommend measuring ingredients by weight when given.
These muffins are not super sweet. If you want them to be sweeter, I recommend adding in a couple tablespoons of granulated sugar (like coconut sugar or maple sugar).
*This recipe has only been tested using Nuzest pea protein powder, which is extremely absorbent. If you use another type/brand of protein powder you will likely need less almond milk. That being said, I cannot guarantee results if using a different protein.
