Avocado Chocolate Protein Muffins

Avocado Chocolate Protein Muffins offer a delightful combination of flavors and nutritional benefits, making them a great choice for breakfast or a snack after exercise. These muffins are rich in protein thanks to the inclusion of protein powder and healthy fats from avocado, resulting in a moist, rich texture. The avocado provides a creamy texture and subtle flavor that complements the chocolate beautifully. These muffins are gluten-free and dairy-free, with the option to use a plant-based protein powder for a vegan version. Quick to prepare, they are suitable for meal prep, as they store well in the fridge or freezer for busy days.
