The best recipes are the ones that are secretly healthy, but taste unhealthy, and that's exactly what my Easy Banana Chocolate Chip Protein Muffins are. These light and fluffy muffins are made from sweet, ripe bananas, crunchy walnuts, and melty chocolate chips, but don't let that fool you- they are also packed with protein! Plus, they are naturally gluten-free and dairy-free, making them the perfect muffin to help you satisfy your cravings and hit your protein goals.
Ingredients
- 3 Large Bananas very ripe
- 2 Eggs or Flax Eggs
- ¼ Cup Non-Dairy Milk
- 2 Tablespoons Maple Syrup
- 1 ½ Teaspoons Vanilla Extract
- 2 Cups 1:1 Gluten-Free Flour or substitute all-purpose flour
- ¼ Cup Coconut Sugar
- 1-2 Scoops Collagen Powder optional
- 1 ½ Teaspoons Cinnamon
- 1 Teaspoon Baking Soda
- ½ Teaspoon Sea Salt
- ½ Cup Walnuts chopped
- ¾ Cup Chocolate Chips
Instructions
- To make these muffins, start by preheating your oven to 325 F.
- Next, prepare a muffin tin by lining it with paper muffin liners or greasing it well with butter or oil. Then, set it aside while you prepare the the muffin batter.
- Add the bananas, eggs, non-dairy milk, maple syrup, and vanilla extract to a high-speed blender. Then, blend until the batter is smooth.
- Next, in a large bowl, add the dry ingredients- the flour, coconut sugar, cinnamon, baking soda, and sea salt- and stir until combined.
- Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and mix until they're fully combined, being careful not to over-mix.
- Then, fold the walnuts and chocolate chips into the batter, again being careful not to over-mix.
- Divide the muffin batter equally amongst the 12 cavities and top each muffin with a banana coin.
- Finally, bake the muffins for 20 minutes, or until a toothpick comes out clean.
- Once the muffins are done, allow them to cool slightly. Then, serve them and enjoy!
