Skinny Banana Chocolate Protein Muffins

Cook Time 20 minutes

Ingredients
  

  • 2 scoops chocolate protein powder
  • 1 tsp (6g) baking soda
  • 1 tsp (4g) baking powder
  • 1/2 tsp (1.5g) cinnamon
  • 1/4 tsp (0.5g) nutmeg
  • 3 ripe bananas
  • 2 eggs
  • 2 Tbsp (39g) maple syrup
  • 6 – 8 Tbsp (64–85g) dark chocolate chips — optional, but strongly suggested 🙂

Instructions
 

  • Preheat your oven to 350 degrees. Line a 12-cup muffin pan with parchment paper liners or pan release spray. Set aside.
  • Place your bananas in a large mixing bowl, and mash them thoroughly with a fork.
  • Next, add in all ingredients to the mashed bananas, except for your chocolate chips. Using a hand mixer, combine all ingredients until fully incorporated.
  • Lastly, fold in your chocolate chips and mix until combined.
  • Using a cookie scoop or large spoon, divide your batter evenly between your 12 muffin cups. Fill at least 3/4 full (these shouldn’t rise all that much, so it is okay if they look a bit full). Top with a couple additional dark chocolate chips (optional). 🙂
  • Bake for 18 – 20 minutes until edges look a bit browned. Use a toothpick to test if batter is fully cooked through.
  • Let muffins cool for 10 minutes or so on a cooling rack.

  • You can easily store these muffins in an airtight container (with a slice of bread to keep them from drying out) for up to a week. These have become a perfect snack for us to grab after a workout to re-fuel or a quick breakfast on the go! You can even find us enjoying one late at night when the sugar cravings hit. 🙂 Enjoy babes!
