Make these macro friendly muffins for a quick, high protein breakfast or post workout snack. This recipe uses simple ingredients and Greek yogurt for added protein.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 large ripe bananas, mashed
  • 1/2 cup plain Greek yogurt (nonfat or 2%)
  • 1/4 cup melted coconut oil or vegetable oil
  • 1 large egg
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1/4 cup maple syrup or honey
  • 1 cup whole wheat flour or all-purpose flour
  • 1 scoop (about 30g) vanilla or unflavored whey protein powder
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt

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, melted oil, egg, vanilla extract, and maple syrup. Mix until just combined.
  3. Add the flour, protein powder, baking soda, cinnamon, and salt to the wet ingredients.
  4. Mix with a spatula until the dry ingredients are just incorporated. Do not overmix; a few streaks of flour are fine.
  5. Divide the batter evenly among the 12 muffin cups.
  6. Bake for 18 to 20 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of a muffin comes out clean.
  7. Let the muffins cool in the tin for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.

Notes

  • For freezer protein muffins: Cool the muffins completely. Place them in a freezer-safe bag or container, separating layers with parchment paper. They keep well for up to 3 months. Thaw overnight on the counter or microwave briefly before eating.
  • To boost the protein content further, use Greek yogurt banana muffins batter that includes an extra tablespoon of protein powder, though liquid content may need slight adjustment.
  • If you prefer a less sweet muffin, reduce the maple syrup to 3 tablespoons.
