Filling:
Assembling:
Preheat oven to 400°F, line 14 cups of a muffin pan with cupcake liners, and lightly spray insides with cooking spray (or use non-stick pan).
In a large bowl, whisk together applesauce, yogurt, almond milk and eggs.
In another bowl, whisk whole wheat pastry flour, vanilla protein powder, unflavored protein powder, cinnamon and baking powder.
Add dry mix to wet, and gently fold until combined. DO NOT OVER-MIX or protein powder and gluten will from wheat flour will make the muffins dense.
Divide half the batter among muffin cups.
Place chocolate chips in middle, cover with remaining half batter.
Bake & Assemble:
Bake for 5 minutes, then reduce temperature to 350°F (leaving muffins in oven) and bake another 13 minutes (total time 18-20 min).
A toothpick inserted should come out dry.
Cool for 5 minutes, then remove from pan.
In a small shallow bowl, combine Lakanto sweetener and cinnamon.
Lightly dip muffin top in melted butter, then in cinnamon ‘sugar’ mixture, and place on cooling rack.
Repeat with all.
