Servings: 12 muffins
Calories: 129kcal
Ingredients
- 2 medium ripe bananas , mashed (3/4 cup)
- ½ cup full-fat greek yogurt
- 2 eggs
- 2 tablespoons coconut sugar
- 1 cup almond flour
- ½ cup vanilla plant protein powder
- ½ teaspoon baking soda
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- ½ cup all purpose flour (gluten-free if needed)
- Pinch of sea salt
- Chocolate chips (optional)
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350ºF. Either use a silicone muffin tin, silicone muffin liners OR grease a muffin pan with butter or coconut oil. The silicone options are best to avoid sticking, but a well-greased tin should be fine!
- In a large mixing bowl, mash the banana until as smooth as possible.
- Stir in the yogurt, eggs, and coconut sugar until well combined.
- Add the almond flour, protein powder, baking powder, soda, and salt and stir to form a batter.
- Fold in the all purpose flour, being sure to not overmix which will result in a gummy muffin. Fold in the chocolate chips if using.
- Fill each muffin cup 2/3 full then bake for 24 - 26 minutes.
- Allow the muffins to cool in the pan for at least 5 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack and cool completely.
Notes
Tip: want to add even more protein? Stir in 3 tablespoons of hemp seeds when you add the chocolate chips.
