Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 ripe bananas
- 2 large eggs
- 1 cup Greek yogurt
- 1 cup vanilla protein powder
- 1 cup rolled oats
- 1.5 teaspoons baking powder
- 0.5 teaspoon baking soda
- 1 teaspoon cinnamon
- 0.25 teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 2 tablespoons honey or maple syrup
- 0.5 cup chocolate chips (optional)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and lightly grease a mini muffin tin or line it with mini muffin paper liners.
In a large mixing bowl, mash the ripe bananas with a fork until smooth.
Add the eggs, Greek yogurt, vanilla extract, and honey (or maple syrup) to the mashed bananas. Mix well until fully combined.
In another bowl, combine the vanilla protein powder, rolled oats, baking powder, baking soda, cinnamon, and salt. Stir until evenly mixed.
Gradually add the dry mixture to the banana mixture, stirring gently until just combined. Be careful not to overmix the batter.
Optional: Fold in the chocolate chips if using.
Spoon the batter evenly into the prepared mini muffin tin, filling each cup about 3/4 full.
Place the muffin tin in the preheated oven and bake for 12-15 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the center of a muffin comes out clean.
Once baked, remove the muffins from the oven and let them cool in the tin for about 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Enjoy the high protein mini banana muffins as a healthy snack or breakfast option!
