Cinnamon is not only delicious and pairs well with many flavors, but it’s also good for the immune system, is an anti-inflammatory, and some say it even helps with blood sugar spikes.
Jocko Chocolate Protein Powder is another element of these muffins that not only contributes to the flavor and fluffy texture, but it also is packed full of healthy ingredients designed to help you get after it.

How to Make Cinnamon Mocha Muffins
If you’ve baked much at all you probably already know the drill, as this recipe is pretty straightforward.
Begin by preheating your oven to 350° Fahrenheit, and either grease your muffin tin or line with cupcake liners.
In a large mixing bowl combine all your dry ingredients. ( Sweetener, almond flour, cocoa, protein powder, salt, baking powder, cinnamon, and espresso powder)
Mix all of these together with a whisk until they are evenly mixed.
Next add the eggs, vanilla, cream, and coffee to the mix. Whisk again until well blended and you have a smooth creamy batter.
Add the chocolate chips to the batter, and mix until they have been evenly distributed.
Using a measuring cup pour the batter into the prepared muffin cups, filling about two thirds of the way full.
Bake for 15-18 minutes or until the middles have set and the edges have begun to pull away from the pan.
Let the muffins cool before removing them from the pan.
For best results cut the muffin in half and place a pat of butter in the middle. Warm in the oven or microwave if the muffins have cooled off too much to melt the butter, and enjoy!
