Rate Pin Print
Servings: 12 muffins

Ingredients

Dry Ingredients

  • 1 3/4 cups rolled oats, (168 grams)
  • 2 scoops PE Science Select Vegan Vanilla Protein Powder, (56 grams)
  • 3 oz Guittard 64% baking chocolate, chopped, (90 grams)
  • 1/4 cup white whole wheat flour, (30 grams)
  • 1 tsp cinnamon
  • 1 tsp baking powder
  • 1/2 tsp baking soda
  • 1/2 tsp salt

Wet Ingredients

  • 1 1/4 cup zucchini, grated, (190 grams)
  • 5 oz unsweetened vanilla almond milk
  • 1/4 cup light brown sugar, packed, (50 grams)
  • 3 tbsp Skippy Natural Creamy Peanut Butter, melted, (48 grams)
  • 2 tbsp maple syrup, (1 oz)
  • 1 large egg, room temperature
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract

Instructions

  • Pre-heat oven to 350 degrees. Line a muffin tin with non-stick (parchment) cupcake liners. Set aside.
  • Add all dry ingredients except chocolate chunks to a medium bowl and mix. Set aside.
  • Add brown sugar, maple syrup, vanilla extract, and melted peanut butter to a large bowl. Whisk until well combined, then add egg and almond milk and whisk until smooth.
  • Add pre-mixed dry ingredients to the wet ingredients and mix until just combined. Fold in chocolate chips, then spoon into cupcake liners, filling them to the top of the cupcake liner.
  • Bake muffins for 21-24 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center of a muffin comes out clean.
  • Store in a sealed container on the counter for 2-3 days or in the refrigerator for up to a week.

Tips & Tricks

If you’d prefer to use whey instead of vegan protein powder, I’d recommend cutting the amount of almond milk in half.

  • Add butternut squash to a medium pot and cover with water. Bring to a boil over high heat, then lower heat to medium and continue boiling for 10-12 minutes or until squash mashes easily with a fork.
  • Drain water from squash using a colander, then return it to the pot. Add coconut milk, butter, and 1 tsp Flavor God seasoning. Mash until the squash reaches desired consistency.
