Ingredients

  • 3 medium bananas, mashed
  • 2 large eggs
  • ⅓ cup almond milk
  • ¼ cup olive oil
  • ¼ cup brown sugar
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 1 cup vanilla plant protein powder (see notes)
  • ¾ cup almond flour
  • ½ cup oat flour (certified gluten free if necessary)
  • 1 tsp cinnamon
  • 1 ½ tsp baking powder
  • 1 tsp baking soda
  • ¼ tsp salt
  • ½ cup dairy-free chocolate chips (optional)

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Line a 12-count muffin tin with paper liners (or grease the muffin tin).
  2. In a large mixing bowl, combine the bananas, eggs, almond milk, olive oil, brown sugar, and vanilla. Whisk until well combined.
  3. In another mixing bowl, combine the protein powder, almond flour, oat flour, cinnamon, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. Stir until well combined.
  4. Add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients and stir until just combined. Fold in the chocolate chips.
  5. Pour the batter evenly into each spot in the muffin tin, filling almost completely. Bake for approximately 18-22 minutes, or until muffins are golden brown on top and a toothpick pulls clean from the center. Let cool for 10 minutes in the pan, then remove from the pan and allow to finish cooling on a rack. Enjoy!

Recipe Notes

  • The taste and texture of these muffins can vary based on the quality of the plant protein powder you use. I recommend NOW Organic Plant Protein Powder. Also, keep in mind that scoop size does vary between different protein powder brands, which is why I generally prefer to use a cup measurement.
  • If you are gluten-free, double check to ensure your protein powder does not contain gluten ingredients.
  • Nutrition facts may vary slightly depending on the choice of protein powder.
