Protein Muffins
Protein Muffins use mashed banana, almond butter, eggs, vanilla protein powder, and maple syrup to create a moist muffin with chocolate chips folded in. The muffins have a tender crumb and subtle sweetness with protein enrichment, suitable for a filling breakfast or snack. Baking is straightforward, and the muffins hold well at room temperature or can be refrigerated or frozen.

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.
