Chocolate walnut muffins that are good for PCOS? Sign me up!

I love protein muffins as an easy prep-ahead breakfast to help get you through busy weeks. So I made sure to include several variations in my new book, A Balanced Approach to PCOS!

And these check all the boxes, with 19 grams of protein, 23 grams of healthy, anti-inflammatory fats, and 8 grams of fiber!

These whip up quickly in a food processor, and then the walnuts are stirred in by hand. If you don’t have walnuts on hand, you could use any other nut!

I used Manitoba Milling Ground Flaxseed and Nuzest Clean Lean Vanilla protein powder in this recipe.

Enjoy these chocolate walnut muffins that won’t spike & crash your blood sugar, but instead will keep your energy steady until lunch!
