Preheat oven to 350°F (176°C). Air fryer directions below. Spray muffin tin or silicone pan with cooking spray.

Add protein powder, oats, cocoa powder, baking powder and salt. Stir to combine.
Spoon mixture evenly into muffin tin, filling tins to the top. You may have some leftover batter. Bake for 25 minutes in traditional oven, or if using an air fryer bake for 12 minutes (or until brown as air fryers may varty) at 320 degrees checking them half-way through
Remove from oven and cool in pan on a wire rack. Come, remove from pan and store in an airtight container in the refrigerator.
