Sourdough Chocolate Protein Muffins with Strawberries

These chocolate protein muffins with fresh strawberries and sourdough starter are perfect everyone in the family! Each muffins has 8 grams of protein.

  • Prep: 10 minutes
  • Cook: 30 minutes
  • Total Time: 40 minutes

Ingredients

  • 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1/4 cup cocoa powder
  • 3/4 cup chocolate protein powder*
  • 1/3 cup sugar
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1 1/2 cups sliced strawberries, fresh
  • 1/2 cup dark chocolate chips
  • 1/2 cup grass-fed butter, room temperature soft*
  • 1/2 cup sourdough starter, room temperature*
  • 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
  • 1/2 cup whole milk, room temperature
  • 2 eggs, room temperature

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 350° F.
  2. Line a muffin tin with paper liners.
  3. In a medium-large mixing bowl, combine the flour, protein powder, cocoa, sugar, baking soda, baking powder, salt, and strawberries.
  4. In a separate bowl, combine the butter, sourdough starter, vanilla, whole milk, and two eggs. Whisk until combined. (the butter may be clumpy, that’s normal; just mix the wet ingredients as much as possible)
  5. Gently fold the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients until everything is just combined. Do not over-mix. The batter should be thick, and it’s okay if there are clumps.
  6. Spoon the batter into the muffin tins. Optional— top with extra strawberries
  7. Bake for about 30 minutes total. Rotate the pan halfway through.
  8. Allow cooling for about 15 minutes.

Notes

  • plain or vanilla protein powder works too, but they wont be as chocolatey
  • I use salted butter; if you’re not as much of a salt-lover as I am, use unsalted.
  • You can use sourdough discard from the fridge, or active sourdough starter. Just make sure its room temperature. Either way it’s “discarded” into this muffin recipe since it is not used for rise.
