Chocolate Banana Protein Muffins (Oat Flour)
Ingredients
- 2 bananas (310g)
- 1/2 cup greek yogurt (120ml)
- 1/2 cup cane sugar (120g)
- 1/4 cup light olive oil
- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 2 eggs
- 1-1/2 cups oat flour (195g)
- 1/2 cup chocolate protein powder (60g)
- 1/2 cup almond flour (55g)
- 1/4 cup cocoa powder
- 2 teaspoons baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 cup chocolate chips (120ml)
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C). Line a muffin tin with paper liners or grease it lightly with oil. Spray the paper liners lightly with non-stick spray.
- In a large mixing bowl, mash the 2 ripe bananas using a fork or potato masher until smooth. Add 1/2 cup Greek yogurt, 1/2 cup cane sugar, 1/4 cup light olive oil, 2 teaspoons vanilla extract, and 2 eggs to the mashed bananas. Whisk together until fully combined.
- Add the dry ingredients, including 1-1/2 cups oat flour, 1/2 cup chocolate protein powder, 1/2 cup almond flour, 1/4 cup cocoa powder, 2 teaspoons baking powder, and 1/2 teaspoon salt. Whisk until just combined. Be careful not to overmix.Gently fold 1/2 cup chocolate chips into the batter until evenly distributed
- Using a spoon or an ice cream scoop, divide the batter evenly between the muffin liners, filling each nearly full. Allow the batter to mound higher in the middle for the dome tops.
- Divide the batter evenly among the prepared muffin cups, filling each about 2/3 full. Press a few additional chocolate chips into the tops of the muffins.Bake at 425°F for 5 minutes. Then, leave the muffin tin in the oven, reduce the heat to 350°F (180°C), and bake for 14-16 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of a muffin comes out clean. Allow the muffins to cool in the tin for about 5 minutes, then transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely.

Notes
Ripe Bananas: The riper your bananas, the sweeter your muffins will be.
Mix-ins: Feel free to add nuts or seeds for extra crunch and nutrition.
Protein boost: Use any protein powder you like, just make sure it complements the chocolate flavor.
Don’t overmix: Overmixing the batter can make the muffins dense, so gently fold in the dry ingredients.
