Cooking Keto with Kristie

Protein Packed Minute Muffins

Many of you enjoyed using the Paleo Pro Ancient Cocoa beef protein isolate to make my Higher Protein Brownies, but several folks felt like 9 servings was a lot and asked for a quick recipe that makes fewer servings.

Ta-da! I used the same Paleo Pro Ancient Cocoa beef protein isolate to make a 2-serving higher protein option. These are seriously a new favorite for me. They’re perfect for adding a bit of protein to breakfast or any meal, really.

While each muffin packs a punch of 16.5 grams of protein, there’s also 14.9 grams of fat and 2.3 grams of total carbs, which makes these yummy muffins perfectly keto, but not necessarily lower fat. For a lower fat brownie, make my Higher Protein Brownies. Freeze the individual brownies for portion control.

These quick, high-protein muffins are high enough in protein and low enough in carbs that you could easily enjoy two of them for breakfast and get a decent amount of protein. The texture in them does change over time and becomes a bit more moist and brownie-like.

Ingredients
  

Instructions
 

  • Lightly grease two 6 ounce ramekins with butter or coconut oil.
  • Mix all of the ingredients a small bowl until a batter forms.
  • Divide the batter evenly between the two prepared ramekins.
  • Microwave both filled ramekins for 1 minute. Let cool before serving.
  • Refrigerate leftovers for up to one week or freeze prepared muffins for up to three months.

Notes

Make the dry mix ahead of time and store in an airtight container to make these muffins even more quickly.
These make an excellent breakfast treat or enjoy as a dessert. When hot, add a tablespoon of peanut butter and let it melt over the muffin before serving.
I have not tried making this recipe with whey protein isolate or egg white protein powder.

  1. These muffins hit the spot when sweetness is desired.
    They are filling, and the higher protein seems to stick with me for hours.
    I can’t tell you enough how good these are!
