Ingredients

Wet Ingredients

  • 2 ripe bananas, mashed
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1/2 cup plain Greek yogurt
  • 1/4 cup milk of choice
  • 1/4 cup honey or maple syrup
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Dry Ingredients

  • 1 cup oat flour
  • 1/2 cup vanilla or chocolate protein powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon (optional)

Add-ins (Optional)

  • 1/4 cup mini chocolate chips or blueberries

Instructions

  1. Preheat and Prepare Muffin Tin: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a muffin tin with paper liners or lightly grease it to prevent sticking.
  2. Combine Wet Ingredients: In a large bowl, whisk together the mashed bananas, eggs, Greek yogurt, milk, honey or maple syrup, and vanilla extract until the mixture is smooth and homogeneous.
  3. Mix Dry Ingredients: In a separate bowl, combine the oat flour, protein powder, baking soda, baking powder, salt, and cinnamon if using. Stir until evenly mixed.
  4. Combine Wet and Dry Mixtures: Add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients and stir gently until just combined. Avoid overmixing to keep the muffins tender.
  5. Add Optional Mix-ins: Fold in mini chocolate chips or blueberries if you wish, distributing them evenly throughout the batter.
  6. Fill Muffin Cups: Divide the batter evenly among the prepared muffin cups, filling each about three-quarters full to allow space for rising.
  7. Bake: Place the muffin tin in the oven and bake for 18 to 22 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of a muffin comes out clean.
  8. Cool: Allow the muffins to cool in the tin for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.

Notes

  • Use high-quality whey or plant-based protein powder for extra protein boost.
  • These muffins freeze well; thaw overnight or microwave for 30 seconds before eating.
  • To make gluten-free, ensure the oat flour used is certified gluten-free.
