Can you use chocolate protein powder instead of cocoa powder??
Yes!! That is a great idea. Keep in mind though protein powder changes texture and taste. I am not inspired to try this out

Yes, you can use baking powder. Half teaspoon should be enough
Can I bake in a cake pan instead of muffin tin? If so, what size would you recommend. Thanks

Would love to try these but don’t like peanut butter, anything I could use instead of peanut butter
