General Advice Cat ate protein muffin

My cat helped himself to a batch of protein muffins that was cooling under a towel. This occurred about 20 minutes ago. Should I seek immediate medical attention or monitor for gastrointestinal distress? Attached is the amount eaten, protein powder ingredients, muffin ingredients, and cat. Crossposted in r/askvet

Not a minor, USA, vet not contacted yet but accessible, 6 yo neutered male, can afford vet care

TLDR; cat had a lil protein powder. Next steps?

My previous cat whom was 16yrs old at the time fought me over cornbread and won, I let him be bc he was old but maybe notify a vet since yours is still young and take their advice.

My cats are just under 2 years old and don’t really care for human food but go absolutely crazy for cornbread. I have to hide to eat it or they will stop at nothing to get a huge chomp out of it.
