Recipe: Banana Brownie Protein Muffins

While I don't currently have the luxury of baking, as I live in a college dorm, I figured I couldn't not share this yummy recipe I came across... I'm definitely going to make these next time I'm home!

Banana Brownie Protein Muffins

{makes 12 muffins}

Ingredients:

3/4 cup (about 2 medium) frozen & thawed bananas

3/4 cup egg whites

1/4 cup unsweetened almond milk

1/2 cup plain greek yogurt

1/2 cup oats

2 tbsp coconut flour

2 scoops protein powder

1 tbsp unsweetened cocoa powder 

1 tsp baking powder

1 tsp baking soda

dash vanilla

dash cinnamon

Directions:

Mix all of the dry ingredients together.

In a separate bowl, mix all wet ingredients together.

Slowly fold both mixtures together until well incorporated.

Preheat oven to 350.

Line a muffin pan with silicone baking cups or spray baking cups with non-stick cooking spray.

Spoon the batter into each of the 12 muffin cups.

Place in the center middle rack and bake for 18-20 minutes.

If you would like these to be plain Banana Protein muffins (just like regular banana bread!) then use vanilla or unflavored protein powder and nix the cocoa powder.
