Ingredients
- 2 ripe bananas (about ¾ cup mashed)
- 3 large eggs
- ¾ cup oat flour
- ½ cup unsweetened protein powder
- ½ cup coconut sugar
- ¼ cup olive oil
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 2 teaspoons baking powder
- ½ teaspoon fine sea salt
Optional Add-Ins
- ½ cup chopped walnuts or chocolate chips
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350ºF and line a muffin tin with 12 muffin liners. In a large bowl, mash the bananas until they look relatively smooth.
- To the bowl of mashed bananas, add in the eggs, oat flour, protein powder, coconut sugar, oil, cinnamon, baking powder, and salt. Stir well until the batter looks smooth, then fold in any of the optional add-ins.
- Divide the batter evenly between the 12 muffin cups. I usually use a ¼-cup measure to scoop the batter, but you may need to top them off with extra batter once all of the cups are filled. Bake at 350ºF for 25 minutes, or until the tops of the muffins feel firm to the touch.
- Let the muffins cool in the pan for 15 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely. The muffins can be served as soon as they are cool. Leftovers should be stored in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 5 days.
Notes
- Nutrition information is for 1 of 12 muffins without any extra add-ins. This information is automatically calculated using generic ingredients, so it's just an estimate, not a guarantee.
- *I tested this recipe with Garden of Life Unsweetened Plant Protein Powder, which has 44g of protein in a 1/2 cup serving. If you use a flavored protein powder, you may want to cut back on the added sugar in this recipe, and other protein powders may vary on the exact protein amount.
- Note: The size of your bananas will affect how much these muffins rise. If you use bananas that are on the smaller side, the muffins will have more of a dome-shaped top. I used very large bananas in these photos, so the tops turned out slightly more flat. Just something to keep in mind!
