Healthy Banana Bread Protein Muffins Recipe

Ingredients

Servings:
12
  • 2 medium ripe bananas (mashed)
  • 1 cup oats (rolled or quick)
  • 1 scoop protein powder (vanilla or unflavored)
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1 cup honey or maple syrup (for sweetness)
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 cup milk (dairy or plant-based)

Instructions

8 steps

  1. Preheat Oven

    Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).

    Use an oven thermometer for accuracy.
  2. Prepare Muffin Tin

    Grease a muffin tin or line it with muffin liners.

    This prevents sticking and makes cleanup easier.
  3. Mix Dry Ingredients

    In a bowl, combine oats, protein powder, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.

    Mix well to ensure even distribution.
  4. Combine Wet Ingredients

    In another bowl, mix mashed bananas, honey or maple syrup, eggs, and milk.

    Make sure the bananas are well mashed for a smoother batter.
  5. Combine Mixtures

    Add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients and stir until just combined.

    Do not overmix; a few lumps are okay.
  6. Fill Muffin Tins

    Spoon the batter into the prepared muffin tin, filling each cup about 2/3 full.

    This allows room for rising.
  7. Bake

    Bake in the preheated oven for 18-20 minutes or until a toothpick comes out clean.

    Check at the lower end of the time range to avoid overbaking.
  8. Cool and Serve

    Let the muffins cool in the tin for 5 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.

    Enjoy them warm or at room temperature.
