Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 3 ripe bananas
- 2 eggs
- 150 g vanilla Greek yogurt
- 60 ml honey
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 60 g whey protein powder
- 120 g whole wheat flour
- 1 tsp baking powder
- 0.5 tsp baking soda
- 0.25 tsp salt
- 1 tsp ground cinnamon
- 80 g chopped walnuts
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a muffin tin with paper liners or spray with cooking spray.
In a large bowl, mash the ripe bananas until smooth.
Add eggs, vanilla Greek yogurt, honey, and vanilla extract to the mashed bananas and mix until well combined.
In a separate bowl, whisk together the whey protein powder, whole wheat flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, and ground cinnamon.
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, stirring gently until just combined. Do not overmix.
Stir in the chopped walnuts until evenly distributed in the batter.
Spoon the batter evenly into the prepared muffin cups, filling each about three-quarters full.
Bake in the preheated oven 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 tin for about 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Enjoy these muffins as a quick healthy breakfast or a high-protein snack option!
