How to make High Protein Chocolate Peanut Butter Cakes

First put a box of chocolate cake mix into a bowl with 2 1/2 cups of cottage cheese.

I used a standard box of dark chocolate fudge and a 4% cottage cheese.

Next add 2 eggs, 1/4 cup protein powder, and 2/3 cup creamy peanut butter.

My protein powder was unflavored but chocolate or vanilla would be great choices too!

Blend with a hand mixer, which does take some time because the batter is very thick.

Then scoop into regular size silicone muffin pans with an ice cream scoop.

You should get 16 total.

Finally bake in a 350 degree oven for 20 minutes.
