Banana Muffins with Chocolate Chips (Almond Flour and Protein)
These chocolate chip banana protein muffins are the ultimate meal prep snack. They’re healthy, sweetened with just honey, made with almond flour and ready in under 30 minutes.
Wet:
1 cup banana purée
2 eggs
¼ cup pure honey
1 tsp. pure vanilla extract
Dry:
½ cup blanched almond flour
½ cup coconut flour
½ cup vanilla whey protein powder
2 tsp. baking powder
½ tsp. ground cinnamon
¼ tsp. sea salt
Optional:
½ cup chocolate chips or chopped walnuts
Preheat the oven to 350°F (180°C/160°C fan, Gas Mark 4). Line a muffin tin with 10 liners and set aside. It helps to also spray the liners with oil as the protein powder can cause the batter to stick after baking.
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together all the wet ingredients.
Whisk in the dry ingredients. Fold in the nuts or chocolate chips, if using.
Scoop into the prepared tray, filling each liner about ¾ of the way up.
Bake for 18-24 minutes or until a toothpick comes out clean.
Remove from the oven and let cool completely before serving.
Makes 10 muffins.
