Description
Flourless, naturally sweetened, and packed with protein, these Peanut Butter Banana Protein Muffins are your new favorite grab-and-go breakfast or healthy snack. Quick to make and incredibly satisfying!
Ingredients
2 ripe bananas, mashed (approx. 200g)
1/2 cup (128g) natural peanut butter (creamy)
2 large eggs
1/4 cup (60g) honey or maple syrup
1.5 cups (135g) rolled oats (blended into flour)
1 scoop (25g) vanilla protein powder
1 tsp baking powder
1 tsp vanilla extract
1/4 cup (40g) dark chocolate chips (optional)
Instructions
Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a 12-cup muffin tin or line with paper liners.
In a large bowl, combine the mashed bananas, peanut butter, eggs, honey or maple syrup, and vanilla extract. Whisk until the mixture is smooth and well combined.
Add the blended oat flour, protein powder, and baking powder to the wet ingredients. Stir gently until just combined, being careful not to overmix.
If using, fold in the dark chocolate chips until they are evenly distributed throughout the batter.
Divide the batter evenly into the prepared muffin cups, filling each about two-thirds full.
Bake for 18-20 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of a muffin comes out clean and the tops are golden brown.
Allow the muffins to cool in the tin for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Notes
Ensure your bananas are very ripe (with plenty of brown spots) for the best natural sweetness and easier mashing.
For an almond-free version, swap peanut butter for natural almond butter or sunflower seed butter.
Store muffins in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days, or in the refrigerator for up to a week. They also freeze well for up to 3 months.
