Keep your chocolate cravings in check with these incredible brownie muffins.

Rich, gooey, and delicious, these sweet treats from Niall Kirkland are made with a handful of natural ingredients so you can enjoy a healthier alternative to shop-bought guilty pleasures.

Boosted with a couple of scoops of our vanilla Impact Whey Protein, they’re also ideal for helping you hit your daily targets.

Makes 12 muffins

 

Ingredients

Method

  1. Preheat your oven to 175°C/350°F and boil a saucepan of water.
  2. Steam the cubes of sweet potato over your saucepan of boiling water for 10-15 minutes or until soft enough for a fork to easily pierce.
  3. Then transfer your sweet potato into a food processor or blender, along with the peanut butter, maple syrup, whey protein, cocoa powder, and baking powder, and blitz until smooth. If your mixture doesn't blend easily, add a small amount of milk to loosen it up.
  4. Carefully pour or spoon the batter into 12 muffin cases in a muffin tray and top each one with a few chocolate chips.
  5. Bake for 12-15 minutes or until a toothpick comes out clean when poked into your muffins.
  6. Leave to cool for a few minutes before eating — then enjoy!
