Ingredients
- 1 (15.25-ounce) box chocolate cake mix
- 2 1/2 cups cottage cheese (I used 4%)
- 2/3 cup creamy peanut butter
- 1/4 cup protein powder (mine was unflavored)
- 2 eggs
Instructions
-
Put the cake mix, cottage cheese, peanut butter, protein powder, and eggs in a bowl. Use your electric handmixer to combine, which does take some time because the mixture is very thick.
-
Spray a (12-count) regular size muffin pan with nonstick spray. Use an ice cream scoop to add the batter to the muffin pan.
Note: I used one silicone muffin pan on a baking sheet and cooked two batches since this makes 16 cakes.
-
Bake in a 350 degree oven for 20 minutes. Let cool before removing. Store in a covered container in the fridge for a few days.
