Protein Muffins
Description
The Protein Muffins recipe combines mashed banana, almond butter, eggs, maple syrup, almond milk, vanilla extract, and protein powder as wet and dry ingredients to produce a creamy batter. Baking powder ensures rise, and chocolate chips provide bursts of sweetness. Mixing and baking at moderate temperature yields a set, moist muffin with a tender crumb.
The texture balances moistness from banana and almond butter with the structure from eggs and protein powder. Chocolate chips add texture contrast and sweetness. Ideal as a protein-rich breakfast item or snack, they pair with coffee or fruit for a balanced meal.
Storage options include keeping muffins at room temperature for several days, refrigeration for up to a week, or freezing for longer preservation. Thaw gently in the refrigerator before serving to maintain texture and moisture.
Ingredients
- 1 cup banana mashed
- 3 large egg
- ¼ cup maple syrup
- 1 cup almond butter I used Wild Friends, natural; drippy
- 2 Tablespoons almond milk
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- ½ cup protein powder I used Sun Warrior, vanilla
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- ¼ teaspoon salt skip if almond butter is salted, sea salt
- ½ cup chocolate chips
Instructions
- 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.
- In your blender add all ingredients (except the chocolate chips) and blend on high-speed until creamy, about 1 minute.
- Stir in chocolate chips with a spatula.
- Fill each muffin cavity about 3/4 full with the muffin batter. Top each muffin with chocolate chips.
- Bake for 18-20 minutes, or until the tops are set and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
- 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
- Store muffins in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 4 days.
- Alternatively, refrigerate muffins for up to one week or freeze for up to three months.
- Thaw frozen muffins overnight in the refrigerator before enjoying.
