Ingredients

Scale

Wet Ingredients

  • 1 cup mashed ripe bananas
  • 2 eggs
  • 1/4 cup honey
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla essence

Dry Ingredients

  • 1/2 cup almond flour, blanched
  • 1/2 cup oat flour
  • 1/2 cup vanilla-flavored protein powder
  • 2 teaspoons baking powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt

Optional Add-Ins

  • 1/2 cup chocolate chips or chopped walnuts

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Oven and Muffin Tin: Preheat your oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit. Line a muffin tin with 10 liners and lightly spray each with oil to prevent sticking.
  2. Mix the Wet Ingredients: In a large mixing bowl, whisk together mashed bananas, eggs, honey, and vanilla essence until smooth and well combined.
  3. Combine Dry Ingredients and Add Mix-Ins: Gradually whisk almond flour, oat flour, protein powder, baking powder, cinnamon, and salt into the wet mixture until the batter is smooth. Gently fold in chocolate chips or chopped walnuts if using.
  4. Fill Muffin Liners and Bake: Spoon the batter into the prepared muffin liners, filling each about three-quarters full. Bake in the preheated oven for 18-24 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
  5. Cool and Serve: Remove the muffins from the oven and allow them to cool completely in the tin before removing from liners to avoid sticking. Enjoy warm or at room temperature.

Notes

  • Ensure bananas are ripe for natural sweetness.
  • You can substitute walnuts with other nuts or seeds as preferred.
  • Using vanilla protein powder adds flavor; unflavored powder can be used but may alter taste.
  • Store muffins in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days or refrigerate for up to a week.
  • For a vegan version, substitute eggs with flax eggs and honey with maple syrup.
