Mini Vanilla Muffins with Chocolate Protein Fudge Centres

I had a craving for muffins the other day and was eager to test out an idea I had for a chocolate filling. We all know how protein powder reacts when added to baked goods - it acts basically how flour would. What I wanted to see was what would happen if just a mixture of protein powder and water would stay gooey if cooked inside of a muffin mixture. 

I began making the batter and then realised I had run out of baking powder. I didn't want to waste the mixture, so I baked them anyway. Yes, they didn't rise much, however they're still moist despite their dense texture. If you prefer the traditional muffin texture, simply add 1/2 to 1 tsp of baking powder to make them fluffy. 

As for the chocolate protein powder, it didn't stay gooey as say a chocolate molten cake. However it only slightly firmed up and turned into somewhat of a fudgey consistency - a win in my books.
