<\/figure>\n\n\n\nFirst, you want to prep your ingredients. A few notes:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
- Oat flour<\/strong>: You can easily make our own oat flour by blending rolled oats until they have a flour-like texture. Typically this take about 20 seconds.<\/li>
- Sweetener<\/strong>: Are bananas sweet enough for you already? Then you can leave out the honey or swap it with your sweetener of choice.<\/li>
- Bananas<\/strong>: The best bananas to bake with are overripe bananas. Ideally the peel is brown and the bananas are mushy. If you do not add enough banana, the muffins will be dry, so if in doubt add more banana.<\/li>
- Protein powder<\/strong>: Feel free to use your protein powder of choice. I prefer whey. The protein powder will impact the texture of your muffins, so if it\u2019s \u201cchalky,\u201d your muffins may end up chalky or dense.<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n

<\/figure>\n\n\n\nNow that you\u2019ve modified your ingredients to your liking, it\u2019s time to get cooking! Preheat your oven to 350\u2109.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
You can mix up the ingredients two ways.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Method 1: Use a blender<\/strong>.<\/h3>\n\n\n\nI like to toss all the ingredients in a blender and blend until smooth. It\u2019s best to mash the bananas before adding them to the blender. This will assure that everything is mixed well, and you\u2019ll have a nice runny batter.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Method 2: Mix wet ingredients, then dry ingredients.<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\nIf you\u2019d rather not use a blender, don\u2019t worry! You can also mix the ingredients by hand. Mash the bananas, and then stir in the rest of the wet ingredients (eggs, applesauce, honey, vanilla). In a separate bowl, mix the dry ingredients (oat flour, protein powder, baking powder, baking soda, salt, cocoa powder). Slowly add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until a smooth batter is formed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Grease your muffin tin and fill the cups equally. The mixture should make 12 muffins. Place in the oven and bake for 15 minutes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n![\"cooling](\"https:\/\/www.fueledwithfood.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/12\/banana-protein-muffins-1024x682.jpg\")
<\/figure>\n\n\n\nHow to Store Protein Muffins<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
It may be hard to resist eating all the protein muffins in one sitting. But if you can, wait for them to cool and then store in an airtight container in the refrigerator. The muffins should keep for about 5 days.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
You can also freeze them! Having muffins on hand is great for those mornings when you\u2019re in a rush. Place the muffins in a freezer safe bag. When you want to eat one, pop it in the microwave for 20-30 seconds and you\u2019re good to go.<\/p>\n\n\n\n![\"inside](\"https:\/\/www.fueledwithfood.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/12\/protein-muffin-texture-1024x683.jpg\")
<\/figure>\n\n\n\nProtein Muffins FAQs<\/h2>\n\n\n\nCan you add protein powder to muffins?<\/h3>\n\n\n\n
Yes! You can add protein powder to muffins. Typically it\u2019ll make the muffins more dense, so make sure you have a flour to protein powder ratio of at least 3:1. You can also add protein powder to other breakfast favorites like banana pancakes<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\nIs whey protein good for baking?<\/h3>\n\n\n\n
