Ingredients

  • 1 cup mashed banana
  • 3 large eggs
  • ¼ cup maple syrup
  • 1 cup natural drippy almond butter I used Wild Friends
  • 2 Tablespoons almond milk
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • ½ cup vanilla protein powder I used Sun Warrior

  • ¼ teaspoon sea salt skip if almond butter is salted
  • ½ cup chocolate chips

Instructions

    Cup of Yum
  1. Preheat oven to 350°F. Prepare muffin tin by spraying well with cooking spray, or line the tins with paper muffin liners or silicone liners. Set aside.
  2. In your blender add all ingredients (except the chocolate chips) and blend on high-speed until creamy, about 1 minute.
  3. Stir in chocolate chips with a spatula.
  4. Fill each muffin cavity about 3/4 full with the muffin batter. Top each muffin with chocolate chips.
  5. Bake for 18-20 minutes, or until the tops are set and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
  6. Allow muffins to cool for 5-10 minutes or until they are firm and cool enough to handle. Remove from tin and let cool completely on a wire rack.

Notes

  • Storage: These protein muffins will stay fresh in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 4 days. You could also store them in the fridge for one week, or freezer for three months. When ready to enjoy, let them thaw in the fridge overnight.
