Make these moist, no-sugar-added protein muffins using overripe bananas. They are perfect for high fiber, low sugar snacking during your work week.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 very ripe large bananas, mashed
  • 1 cup plain Greek yogurt
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1/2 cup unsweetened applesauce
  • 1/4 cup maple syrup (optional, for slight sweetness)
  • 1 3/4 cups whole wheat pastry flour
  • 1 scoop (about 30g) vanilla or unflavored protein powder
  • 1/2 cup oat bran
  • 2 teaspoons baking powder
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1 cup fresh or frozen blueberries

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a 12-cup muffin tin with paper liners or grease well.
  2. In a large bowl, combine the mashed bananas, Greek yogurt, eggs, vanilla extract, and applesauce. Whisk until smooth. If you are adding the optional maple syrup, mix it in now.
  3. In a separate medium bowl, whisk together the flour, protein powder, oat bran, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
  4. Add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients. Mix gently with a spatula until just combined. Do not overmix; a few streaks of flour are fine.
  5. Gently fold in the blueberries.
  6. Divide the batter evenly among the 12 muffin cups, filling each about two-thirds full.
  7. Bake for 18 to 22 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of a muffin comes out clean.
  8. Let the muffins cool in the tin for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.

Notes

  • For a higher fiber boost, substitute 1/4 cup of the flour with ground flaxseed.
  • If you prefer a completely sugar-free option, omit the maple syrup and rely on the sweetness of the ripe bananas.
  • These protein muffins freeze well. Cool completely, then store in an airtight container in the freezer for up to three months.
