I love to take a couple with me when I'm going to coffee with pals since Starbucks has NOTHING for us in their bakery case when everyone is gobbling up goodies I can breakout my healthier delicious treat (but better bring extras to share, non-ops love them too.)
Shelly's 12 Days of Chocolate Protein Mini Muffins1 Egg, beaten
3 Tablespoons Milk
2 Tablespoons Sugar Free Vanilla Torani Syrup
1 Tablespoon Canola Oil
3 Tablespoons Multigrain Pancake Mix
2 Tablespoons Unsweetened Cocoa (Hershey's is what I used, baking aisle)
1 scoop Chocolate Protein Powder
Pinch salt
Mix egg, milk, syrup and oil (applesauce or cottage cheese can sub for oil but 1 T divided between 12 muffins is really not a lot) and combine thoroughly. In a separate bowl, mix pancake mix, cocoa, protein powder and salt. Tip dry into wet and stir till combined. Pour into a non stick mini muffin pan that has been sprayed with Pam.
Add something from the topping list to each one. Not too much. 1 cherry, 1 malted milk ball, 1/4 teaspoon peanut butter, sprinkle of coffee, 1/2 a strawberry, etc. Bake at 350 for 10 minutes.

Hey there! Love your site! Where do I find sugar free malted milk balls that sounds yummy!
I get sugar free malted milk balls my local Winco Foods supermarket. If you Google them though there are lots of online sources... Fiji catalog sells them I know and I think Vermont Country too.
Michelle,
I wish you and your Mum and very Merry Christmas and peace and love (in the form of a GLEEFUL singing, baking, cleaning, employed, romantic hunky nice Irish Italian – well…we CAN dream….) in the New Year!
Thank you again for sometimes being a light in my darkness, for “pimping” the "porn"(food porn!) in my life, for the hand held out with an alternate healthier recipe instead of the full sugar/fat/carb; the choice of luscious foods - instead of the bleak thought of blandness - for doughnuts, and crustless quiches, for new ways to enjoy old favs and endless sugar free flavoring choices, for giveaways and sharing your life with us – so we have a path already smoothed out to follow. Thank you and bless you!!!

Hi Merry Christmas...gwheezy41@yahoo.com

I have gone to make these 2 times and am missing something!!! UGH.
We are out of eggs.
Made these for MY Christmas morning treat. Loved that they are chocolate and each one a different surprise. I used some blackberries that are super sweet here right now, and s/f coconut, 1/2 tsp. of peanut butter , and cinnamon topping some.
The final compliment that made them super yummy to me, was a drizzle of s/f carmel topping.
Thanks for the great ideas. Yum!

OMG, these sound so yummy! Thanks for the recipe.

Michelle, these look amazing. I just have one quick question. I am about 2 months shy of having the RNY, (working on insurance quals), and I've heard people say that you can't let the protein powders get over 130 degrees. Obviously I misunderstood, I guess, or is there something I'm not getting? I'm an extreme newbie to all of this and just trying to understand the ins and outs of it all. Thank you for your blog and your pins on pinterest. I am learning so much from you and your experiences!! You are a blessing in this "maze" of my life! lol Missie
Hi Missie, Best wishes on your surgery! Cooking protein changes the texture... like scrambling eggs versus raw... same protein (scientifically ever so slight denaturing) but different form.
Sashimi versus cooked fish is the same idea.
Thank you for the lovely compliment too :) that was nice to log on to this evening.
