Description

These Peanut Butter Banana Protein Muffins are a quick and easy gluten-free breakfast option packed with wholesome ingredients like ripe bananas, creamy peanut butter, and protein powder. Perfect for a nutritious start to your day or a post-workout snack.

Ingredients

Dry Ingredients

  • 4 tablespoons protein powder*
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 cup mini chocolate chips

Wet Ingredients

  • 2 large brown bananas
  • 1 cup creamy peanut butter
  • 2 eggs
  • 1/4 cup honey
  • 1 tablespoon vanilla extract

Instructions

  1. Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) to prepare for baking the muffins.
  2. Blend Ingredients: Place the bananas, peanut butter, eggs, honey, protein powder, vanilla extract, baking powder, and salt into a blender. Blend for 30-45 seconds until the mixture is completely smooth and well combined.
  3. Mix in Chocolate Chips: Transfer the batter to a bowl and gently fold in the mini chocolate chips with a spatula or spoon, ensuring even distribution without overmixing.
  4. Prepare Muffin Tin: Spray a standard muffin tin with cooking spray to prevent sticking. Use an ice cream scoop or spoon to evenly distribute the batter into 12 muffin cups.
  5. Bake Muffins: Place the muffin tin in the preheated oven and bake for 12-14 minutes, or until the muffins have set and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
  6. Cool and Serve: Remove the muffins from the oven and allow them to cool slightly before removing from the tin. Enjoy warm or at room temperature.

Notes

  • Protein powder: Use the protein powder of your choice. Various brands and flavors work well for this recipe, allowing customization to your taste and dietary needs.
  • Make sure bananas are ripe and brown for optimal sweetness and moisture.
  • For a nut-free option, consider substituting the peanut butter with sunflower seed butter.
  • Store muffins in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days, or freeze for longer storage.
