I try not to consume too much social media, but every so often I’ll go down the recipe rabbit whole as a way to get ideas and inspiration for my readers. Not too long ago I came across several creators sharing varying versions of these 3-ingredient protein muffins.
These muffins are high in protein, low in calories, have a great texture and taste, and are super quick to throw together. Plus, there are a number of different possible flavor combinations!
I, of course, decided to try my own version of these viral protein muffins and to share them with you! This recipe is for a Double Chocolate Protein Muffin, but I’m also sharing 3 other flavor varieties to try. Enjoy!
3 Reasons Why You’ll Love This Recipe
- All you need are 3 ingredients (and they probably have them at your grocery store). Anytime you can use just 3 ingredients for something you’re baking, it’s a big win. I don’t know about you, but I don’t love dragging out all the measuring cups, spoons, and bowls just to get some muffins.
- There are 10g of protein per muffin. A regular muffin usually has 2-4g of protein, if you’re lucky, but these Viral Protein Muffins have 10g each, making them a legitimate source of protein for your day.
- It’s a “dump and bake” recipe. No weighing, measuring, or extra steps, these muffins are made by dumping the 3 ingredients into a bowl, stirring, and baking. Couldn’t be any easier.

Does it have to be fairlife shake?
Hi Amy! I think it could be any protein shake with the same volume.

Kodiak muffin mix isnt readily available here. Could i use any type of kodiak?
Great question! I haven’t tried it myself, so I am not positive. But it’s worth a shot!

Also these are AMAZING and we have made all the variations! Definitely enjoy the chocolate chip and lemon blueberry ones the most! I also heard to try the birthday cake one!
