Greek Yogurt Banana Muffins
These Greek Yogurt Banana Muffins combine mashed ripe bananas and vanilla-flavored Greek yogurt for moistness and subtle tang. The addition of vanilla protein powder, cinnamon, and honey-roasted walnuts creates a tender crumb with mild sweetness and crunchy nutty bites. Baked in a standard muffin tin, they rise with a soft texture and balanced flavor, suitable for breakfast or a snack.

- Once the batter is well mixed, fold in chopped honey roasted walnuts.
- Line a 12-muffin tin with liners and spray with spray grease. Evenly distribute the batter into each liner (tip: use a cookie scooper for each scoop for easy transfer).

Notes
- Fill muffin cups about three-quarters full to allow proper rising and prevent overflow.
- Depending on your muffin tin size, you may get up to 15 muffins by adjusting batter volume per cup.
- Cool muffins fully before storing; keep in an airtight container refrigerated for up to 5 days.
