Wheat Whey Chocolate Chip Muffins

After recently making Greek yogurt for the first time with my Instant Pot, I found myself with a container full of whey. I’ve never been in this position before, so I turned to Google and settled upon making a batch of Wheat Whey Chocolate Chip Muffins for my soon to arrive house guests.

The batter mixed up quickly and easily, especially with my GIR: Get It Right Spatula.

I filled each silicone baking cup with the batter. I love these reusable muffin liners and use them for baking and freezing alike, no greasing necessary.

I topped off each muffin with sugar for a streusel-like experience.

And, no Whey! The whey way outperformed my expectations. The muffins were moist and delicious and our guests finished them off as breakfast and snacks throughout the week. I’m so glad I explored using a new ingredient.
