Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 3 large ripe bananas
- 2 large eggs
- 0.5 cup unsweetened almond milk
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 0.25 cup honey (or maple syrup)
- 0.5 cup plain Greek yogurt
- 1.5 cups rolled oats
- 0.75 cup whey protein powder (vanilla or unflavored)
- 2 teaspoons baking powder
- 0.5 teaspoon baking soda
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 0.25 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 cup chopped walnuts or chocolate chips (optional)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a 12-cup muffin tin with paper liners or lightly grease the cups.
In a large mixing bowl, mash the ripe bananas until smooth. Add the eggs, almond milk, vanilla extract, honey, and Greek yogurt, and whisk until well combined.
In a separate bowl, combine the rolled oats, protein powder, baking powder, baking soda, cinnamon, and salt. Mix well to evenly distribute the dry ingredients.
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, stirring until just combined. Be careful not to overmix.
If desired, fold in the chopped walnuts or chocolate chips for added texture and flavor.
Divide the batter evenly among the 12 muffin cups, filling each about 3/4 full.
Bake in the preheated oven for 18-20 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of a muffin comes out clean.
Remove the muffin tin from the oven and allow the muffins to cool for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Enjoy immediately or store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days, or in the refrigerator for up to a week.
