Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 3 large ripe bananas
- 0.5 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
- 1.5 cups gluten-free oats
- 0.5 cup chocolate protein powder
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 0.5 teaspoon baking soda
- 0.25 teaspoon salt
- 2 large eggs
- 0.25 cup honey
- 0.25 cup coconut oil, melted
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 0.5 cup mini chocolate chips (optional)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a 12-cup muffin tin with muffin liners or lightly grease with coconut oil.
In a large mixing bowl, mash the ripe bananas until smooth.
Add the eggs, honey, melted coconut oil, and vanilla extract to the mashed bananas and whisk until well combined.
In another bowl, combine the gluten-free oats, chocolate protein powder, cocoa powder, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
Add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined. Do not overmix.
Fold in the mini chocolate chips if using.
Spoon the batter evenly into the prepared muffin tin, filling each cup about 2/3 full.
Bake for 18-20 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of a muffin comes out clean.
Allow the muffins to cool in the pan for a few minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.
Serve the muffins warm or store them in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days.
