Makes 7

1 cup (106 g) high protein pancake mix, I use Kodiak Cakes

1 tsp baking powder

45 grams Lily’s Mini Dark Chocolate Chips

1/3 cup unsweetened cocoa powder

¼ tsp salt

¼ cup of brown sugar replacement like Lakanto Monkfruit

1 tsp of instant coffee granules

1 egg

3/8 cup unsweetened applesauce

3 tbsp of unsweetened plain almond milk

1 tsp vanilla extract

Preheat oven 350°, grease 7 wells in a muffin tin

In one bowl, add all dry ingredients including chips, stir it up. In another smaller bowl add all wet ingredients, whisk well. Add wet to dry, stir, divide batter equally, about ¼ cup per muffin.

Bake 15-18 minutes.  Toothpick check at 15, if there is wet batter, bake additional 2-3 minutes. Inserted toothpick should have wet crumbs when pulled out. Do not overbake.
