Ingredients
Scale
2 ripe bananas, mashed
2 scoops (60g) vanilla whey protein powder
1/2 cup (60g) almond flour
1/4 cup (60ml) unsweetened almond milk
2 large eggs
1/4 cup (50g) granulated erythritol or your preferred sweetener
2 tablespoons (30g) unsalted butter, melted
1 teaspoon baking powder
1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
1/4 teaspoon nutmeg
Pinch of salt
Optional: 1/4 cup chopped walnuts or sugar-free chocolate chips
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a 12-cup muffin tin with paper liners or grease it well.
In a large bowl, mash the ripe bananas until smooth.
Add the whey protein powder, almond flour, almond milk, eggs, sweetener, melted butter, baking powder, cinnamon, nutmeg, and salt to the bowl with the mashed bananas.
Mix all ingredients until just combined. Be careful not to overmix.
If using, gently fold in the chopped walnuts or sugar-free chocolate chips.
Divide the batter evenly among the 12 muffin cups, filling each about two-thirds full.
Bake for 18-22 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of a muffin comes out clean.
Let the muffins cool in the tin for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Notes
For a gluten-free option, ensure your whey protein powder is certified gluten-free.
Store cooled muffins in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 2 days, or in the refrigerator for up to a week. You can also freeze them for longer storage.
These muffins are great for meal planning and can be a healthy addition to your breakfast routine.
