KOJA Chocolate Protein Muffins

Muffins make great on-the-go snacks but aren't always made with the healthiest ingredients. These light, fluffy, chocolatey muffins take barely any time to prepare and are packed with nutrients to help keep you full between meals, stabilise blood sugar and give you a natural energy boost. They're also packed with protein, fibre, magnesium and potassium making them an ideal post-workout snack for muscle recovery and brain fuel or make a nice treat for afternoon tea.

Ingredients
1 bag KOJA Cacao Protein Pancakes
2 tbsp cacao powder
2 tbsp melted coconut oil
1 large ripe banana (puréed/mashed)

2. Empty the bag of KOJA Cacao Protein Pancakes into a bowl and stir in the cacao powder.
3. In a separate bowl, whisk together the egg, mashed banana, milk, rice malt syrup and coconut oil. Add the wet ingredients to cacao and pancake mix. Stir until combined then spoon into a lined muffin tray.
