Banana Protein Muffins
These muffins are perfect for a quick breakfast or a tasty snack. Rich in protein and flavor, they combine the natural sweetness of ripe bananas with the goodness of oats and protein powder. Let’s get started!
Ingredients
- 2 ripe bananas, mashed
- 1 cup rolled oats
- 1/2 cup vanilla protein powder
- 1/4 cup honey or maple syrup
- 1/2 cup unsweetened applesauce
- 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
- A pinch of salt
- 1/2 cup chopped nuts or chocolate chips (optional)
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a muffin tin with paper liners or grease it with non-stick spray.
- In a mixing bowl, combine the mashed bananas, honey (or maple syrup), and applesauce. Stir until well combined.
- In another bowl, mix the rolled oats, protein powder, baking soda, baking powder, cinnamon, and salt.
- Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, stirring until just combined. If you’re using nuts or chocolate chips, fold them in gently at this point.
- Evenly distribute the batter into the prepared muffin tin, filling each cup about 3/4 full.
- Bake for 18-20 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of a muffin comes out clean.
- Once done, remove the muffins from the oven and let them cool in the pan for 5 minutes, then transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely.
