Notes
2026 Update: This recipe was updated to switch from using whey and casein protein to plant based protein. The plant based protein allows the muffins to rise more and I personally like the flavor better for this recipe. If you prefer to use whey and casein, use 1 scoop of each and reduce the amount of almond milk to 1/2 cup.
Storage: Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 1 week.
