Cakes & Muffins ranked by protein density

Showing the top 50 of the 663 cakes & muffins products that carry a comparable calorie figure, ranked by protein per 100 calories. Figures per label, sourced from Open Food Facts and tracker user logs, last checked 2026-09-18.

What the cakes & muffins numbers show

Median across all 663 of them is 1.3g of protein per 100 calories. 23 clear 10g of protein per 100 calories — about one in 29, and 10g is the line Keith uses for a food that pays for its calories.

Calories run from 26 to 575 per 100g inside this one group, a 22-fold spread, so “cakes & muffins” on its own tells you almost nothing about what a portion costs you.

Name brands do lead this one: 1.4g of protein per 100 calories at the median across 544 products, against 1.2g for the 119 own-label ones.

What to actually pick

Most of what is sold as cakes & muffins is not a protein food. The 23 that clear 10g per 100 calories sit at the top of the table and are the exceptions, not the rule.

262 of the 663 carry 400 calories or more per 100g — the ones worth weighing rather than eyeballing.

Where this fits

This is the aisle that quietly wrecks a calorie target, which is the whole point of where the calories actually hide.

For one specific product rather than the whole group, the 20,000-product database is searchable on Calories in Ireland, and the same figures are built into the calorie app.
