Notes
- Use ripe bananas for best results.
- Use a creamy nut butter that is made with only nuts and salt. Any added sugars, oils or preservatives will alter the texture.
- Any vanilla protein powder will work. I used Nuzest Vanilla which is both Vegan and gluten free. Chocolate protein powder would work too, but would change the flavor and look of these muffins.
- Bake muffins until toothpick inserted comes out clean.
- Store covered at room temperature for up to 3 days.
