high Protein Banana Muffins

These are the easiest, most moist (sorry) muffins i’ve ever had. I gave up and thought I wouldn’t have a muffin in my recipes… all too sweet, too dry, all protein powder and cakey… finally, I present to you - perfection. The perfect grab and go breakfast or snack, you can modify these anyway you want, swap out the chocolate for blueberries, add nuts, whatever! They are moist which means the tops will likely settle & sink.

Ingredients

• 3 ripe mashed bananas (230g ish)

• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

• ¼ cup maple syrup (84g)

• 3 tbsp yogurt (60g)

• 1 tbsp olive oil (5g)

• 2tbsp honey (10g)

• 1 egg

• 1 cup whole flour,(120g)

• ½ cup vanilla protein (50g)

• 1/8 cup whole oats (10 g)

• ½ teaspoon salt (2.5 g)

• ½ teaspoon baking soda (2 g)

• 1 teaspoon baking powder (4.5 g)

• ⅓ cup chopped semisweet chocolate or semisweet chocolate chips (60 g)

• 1 tablespoon hemp seeds (10 g)
  

Method

1. Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Lightly spray a muffin tin with cooking spray or line with muffin liners.

2. In a large bowl, add mashed bananas. Whisk in the vanilla, maple syrup, and applesauce, then mix in the egg.

3. Add the protein powder, flour, baking soda, baking powder, and salt. Mix until just combined (do not over-mix). The batter will be thick.

4. Stir in the chocolate chips and hemp seeds (if using).

5. Fill the muffin tins ⅔ full. Sprinkle extra chocolate chips on top if desired.

6. Bake for 11-15 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.

Let cool in the muffin tin for 5-10 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.
