Single Serve Chocolate Protein Muffin
Single serve cakes are one of my favourite things to make at the moment. There’s usually minimal ingredients involved, and if you’re a single person like me, you won’t be left to eat 11 more of the same thing day after day.
Plus you can customise it with all of your favourite toppings! I love adding a few choc chips on top, or spoonful of peanut butter in between the two layers of batter.
The use of protein powder will help you stay fuller for longer and keep you powering through until your next meal. If you make this be sure to tag me on Instagram with your creations @sarahlizking
