Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup mashed ripe bananas (about 23 medium bananas)
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1/4 cup honey (or maple syrup for a vegan option)
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 1/2 cup blanched almond flour (sub: sunflower seed flour for nut-free)
  • 1/2 cup oat flour (blitz rolled oats in a blender)
  • 1/2 cup vanilla protein powder
  • 2 tsp baking powder
  • 1/2 tsp ground cinnamon
  • 1/4 tsp salt
  • 1/2 cup mini chocolate chips or chopped walnuts (optional)

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a muffin tin with 10 paper liners, lightly spraying each liner with oil.
  2. Whisk together mashed bananas, eggs, honey, and vanilla in a large bowl until smooth, ensuring no banana chunks remain.
  3. Combine almond flour, oat flour, protein powder, baking powder, cinnamon, and salt in another bowl, whisking until well mixed.
  4. Fold the dry ingredients into the wet ingredients using a spatula, mixing until just combined without overmixing.
  5. Add in chocolate chips or walnuts if desired.
  6. Scoop the batter into the prepared muffin liners, filling each about three-quarters full.
  7. Bake for 18–24 minutes, or until muffins are golden and a toothpick comes out clean.
  8. Cool muffins in the pan for 5 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.

Notes

For best results, use very ripe bananas and ensure flours are measured accurately for consistency. Can be frozen for up to 3 months.
