🛒 Ingredients

  • 2 ripe bananas, mashed
  • 2 large eggs
  • ½ cup Greek yogurt (or dairy-free alternative)
  • ¼ cup honey (or maple syrup)
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 1 cup oat flour (or almond flour)
  • ¼ cup cocoa powder
  • 1 tsp baking powder
  • ½ tsp cinnamon
  • ¼ tsp salt
  • ¼ cup chocolate chips (optional)
  • 1 scoop chocolate or vanilla protein powder (optional, for extra protein)

🍴 Instructions

1. Prep the Oven & Muffin Tin

Preheat your oven to 180°C (350°F). Line a 12-cup muffin tin with paper liners or lightly grease them with cooking spray.

2. Mix Wet Ingredients

In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the mashed bananas, eggs, Greek yogurt, honey or maple syrup, and vanilla extract until smooth and well-combined.

3. Mix Dry Ingredients

In another bowl, stir together the oat flour, cocoa powder, baking powder, cinnamon, and salt. If using, add your scoop of protein powder now.

4. Combine & Fold

Gradually stir the dry ingredients into the wet mixture until just combined. Gently fold in chocolate chips if using.

5. Portion & Bake

Divide the batter evenly among the muffin cups, filling each about ¾ full. Bake for 18–22 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.

6. Cool & Enjoy

Let the muffins cool in the pan for a few minutes before transferring to a wire rack. Enjoy them warm or at room temperature.
