Ingredients
- 1 Cup Old Fashioned Oats
- 3/4 Cup Protein Powder I used chocolate flavored because that’s what we had on hand, and it was great!
- 1/4 Cup Whole Wheat Pastry Flour
- 1 Tbsp Baking Powder
- 1/2 tsp Salt
- 2 Medium/Large Ripe Bananas – Mashed
- 2 tsp Vanilla
- 1/2 Cup + 2 Tbsp Nonfat Milk
- 1/2 Cup Sugar or your desired sugar substitute – just check the label for conversion instructions
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350° and line muffin tins with enough papers for about 14 muffins (I know, kind of a funny amount).
- In a medium bowl, mix together the dry ingredients (oats, protein powder, flour, baking powder, and salt).
- In a separate bowl, mix together the wet ingredients (bananas, vanilla, and milk).
- Add dry ingredients to wet ingredients, mix, then add sugar, and mix it all really well.
- Fill your muffin cups about 3/4 full. These muffins will rise a little, but not a ton, so don’t be scared to make them more full than you would standard cupcakes or something.
- Bake for 15 – 20 minutes. Mine took about 18.
- Allow these to cool all the way before trying to remove the paper cups and eat them.
