Foods then you are in the right place to make these really easy banana protein muffins we’re going to start with some very ripe bananas and these are the bananas that have the nice big brown spots on the outside which which means they are at their maximum sweetness level so we’re just going to peel two bananas and put them on a plate now.
You’re welcome to jot down these ingredients as we go along or you can click on the link that’s in the video description below and that will take you to my website with the full recipe that has all the details and then once we have all of our bananas mashed we’re going to add them to a large mixing bowl and then to add some extra protein and.
Moisture to our muffins we’re going to add half a cup of plain Greek yogurt I like to use full fat for the most creaminess I’ll add half cup of cane sugar but you could use regular granulated sugar if you like then we’ll add A4 a cup of light olive oil you could also use avocado oil and two teaspoons of vanilla extract and I just.
Use my lid cuz it equals a teaspoon and then we’ll just whisk this together until it’s well combined and then we’ll drop in two eggs and then whisk again just until our eggs are Incorporated now we can add our dry ingredients and I love this recipe because it can be used with a variety of flour and I’ve included a table on the recipe page on.
My website and that has all the different flowers and the measurements to use I’m going to use some oat flour because I love the flavor of it and I just took some quick oats and I ground them up in my blender for about 30 seconds to make this very easy flour but you could also use store bought so I’m going to add one and 1/2 cups of oat.
Flour and then to add a little more protein and some moisture and some delicious flavor I like to add a half a cup of almond flour and to add the protein as well as some chocolate flavor I’m going to use my favorite chocolate protein powder and this is one of my favorites because it’s organic and sweetened with coconut sugar and it has.
Vegetable nut and seed protein and I’ve included a link in the description below if you’d like to check it out so I’m add half a cup of chocolate protein powder and then A4 a cup of cocoa powder and then I’m going to add 2 tpoon of baking powder 1 teaspoon of cinnamon and half a teaspoon of salt and then we’ll just stir these together with the Whisk until.
It’s well combined now if you could use more healthy inspiration on a regular basis I invite you to join my email list just click on the link is in the video description below and that is the best way for us to stay connected now I have this thick gorgeous batter that smells amazing when it comes to the chocolate chips you can use any variety that you.
Like that meets your dietary needs so I’m going to add half a cup of chocolate chips I’m actually going to hold out a couple tablespoons worth because I want to sprinkle these on top of the muffins before they bake then I’ll just fold these in with my spatula and then I just lined my muffin tray with some paper liners and I’m going to lightly spray.
Them with some non-stick so I I can easily peel them off the muffins and then I’ll just use my third cup batter scoop and scoop the batter right into each of the cups I’m going to let the batter Mound up a little bit higher right in the middle just so we get that gorgeous Dome on top and now that the muffin cups are full I’m going to go.
Back with my chocolate chips and just sprinkle a few more on top and this really is just for the aesthetic it makes it very obvious that these are chocolate muffins as far as I’m concerned the more chocolate the better well these look gorgeous and they are ready to bake now a really great hack for getting that higher Dome on your.
Muffin is to give it a heat boost so we’re going to put this into a 425° oven and set our timer for 5 minutes as soon as the timer goes off we’re going to leave the muffins in the oven turn the heat down to 350 and then we’re going to let these bake for another 16 to 18 minutes or until they’re just lightly golden brown around.
The outsides and a toothpick comes out clean well here are our muffins after they came out of the oven and I allow them to cool and they are gorgeous I love how the batter kind of cracks and opens up up a little bit on top and they have this really gorgeous Dome on top and the muffin liner is very easy to pull off because we sprayed it first oh.
Look at that gorgeous inside that is just soft and fluffy and full of chocolate and it’s delicious I love how it’s rich and chocy and has so much flavor coming in from those oats and the almond flour and the protein powder is undetectable other than adding to the delicious flavor and I love knowing that.
They’re made with clean natural ingredients which means I’m going to feel just as good even after I eat them and I want to thank you for joining me today in my kitchen I have included the link to this full recipe and it’s in the video description below and that will take you to my website jenl tummy. comom and I also invite you to like And.
