These protein-packed banana muffins are made with ripe bananas, protein powder, and a blend of oat and almond flours for a healthy, delicious snack or breakfast option.
Preheat the Oven: Set your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a muffin tin with paper liners or lightly grease with non-stick spray.
Prepare the Wet Ingredients: In a large mixing bowl, mash the ripe bananas until smooth. Add the eggs, honey (or maple syrup), and vanilla extract. Whisk together until fully combined.
Combine the Dry Ingredients: In a separate bowl, whisk together the almond flour, oat flour, protein powder, baking powder, cinnamon, and salt.
Mix the Batter: Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, stirring gently until just combined. Avoid overmixing, as this can make the muffins dense.
Fold in Add-ins (Optional): If using chocolate chips or chopped walnuts, fold them into the batter.
Portion the Batter: Evenly distribute the batter into the prepared muffin tin, filling each cup about ¾ full.
Bake: Place the muffin tin in the preheated oven and bake for 18-22 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of a muffin comes out clean.
Cool: Remove the muffins from the oven and let them cool in the tin for 5 minutes. Then transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely.
