  4. Stir batter: Gradually add milk while stirring until batter is smooth but not too liquid.
  5. Add mix-ins: Fold in chocolate chips or desired mix-ins.
  6. Bake muffins: Fill muffin liners 2/3 full, sprinkle with additional chocolate chips, and bake for 20-25 minutes until a toothpick comes out clean.

Notes

  • You can use your favorite flavor of protein powder for variety.
