Comment:

First recipe on gainplates.com!!!

Protein muffins are an idea from my head and it turned out much better than I expected. They tasted really good, they lasted 2 days in the fridge and were still like new.

Would I make the recipe again? Well... maybe yes, as I said the muffins tasted very good, but the preparation is longer and overall I didn't really know what I was getting into. If I were to repeat the recipe, I would add more butter and milk to the chocolate so that it would melt better and maybe I would add more sweetener (maple syrup / honey) to the dough (cottage cheese) so that the sweetness would be felt more than the cottage cheese.

Overall, I consider the recipe to be successful and I recommend it to you if you are craving a sweet snack.

I hope you like my recipe. I will be happy if you check out other recipes. Every Saturday a new, original protein recipe is released.
