Equipment

3 large silicone muffin cups

Ingredients

Crust:

3 tablespoons hazelnut butter 48g
3 tablespoons water 45ml
¼ cup chocolate pea protein blend 25g

Filling:

½ cup chocolate whey protein powder 45g
3 tablespoons water 45ml
1 tablespoon hazelnut butter 16g

Instructions

Preheat oven to 325F (163C).
Start to make the crust by mixing the hazelnut butter and water.
Add Warrior Blend protein powder and mix well. If the batter is too sticky (sticks to your fingers), add a little more protein powder.
Divide mix into 3 parts, and press each into a large silicone muffin cup. Be sure to press the crust in so that the sides come up higher than the middle.
Bake at 325F (163C) for about 8-12 minutes, or until firm to the touch.
Let crusts cool slightly while you mix the whey protein powder and water. Add in hazelnut butter.
Remove crusts from the silicone cups, and fill with chocolate hazelnut filling.
Top each with a hazelnut, if desired (not included in macros). Enjoy!
Store in the refrigerator.

Notes

A note about substitutions: You might try using chocolate pea protein or rice protein to replace the Warrior Blend. I don't think whey would work well in the crust. Also, you might try using casein instead of whey for the filling.
Hazelnut butter can be made by processing hazelnuts (or hazelnut flour) in a food processor.
