Make these simple, one-bowl banana protein muffins using Greek yogurt for a moist texture and high protein count. They are perfect for a quick breakfast or a post workout snack.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1/2 cup mashed ripe bananas (about 2 medium)
  • 1/2 cup plain Greek yogurt
  • 1/4 cup melted coconut oil or light olive oil
  • 1/3 cup maple syrup or honey
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 cup whole wheat flour or oat flour
  • 1/2 cup vanilla protein powder
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 cup chopped walnuts or mini chocolate chips (optional)

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a 12-cup muffin tin with paper liners or grease well.
  2. In a large bowl, whisk together the eggs, mashed bananas, Greek yogurt, melted oil, maple syrup, and vanilla extract until smooth.
  3. In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, protein powder, baking soda, cinnamon, and salt.
  4. Add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients. Mix gently until just combined. Do not overmix; a few lumps are fine.
  5. Fold in the optional walnuts or chocolate chips if you are using them.
  6. Divide the batter evenly among the 12 muffin cups, filling each about two-thirds full.
  7. Bake for 18 to 22 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of a muffin comes out clean.
  8. Let the muffins cool in the pan for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.

Notes

  • For freezer friendly baking, cool the muffins completely, then place them in a freezer-safe bag or container. They keep well for up to three months.
  • If you prefer a stronger banana flavor, use slightly riper bananas.
  • These muffins provide about 10g of protein per serving, making them great high protein muffins for meal prep.
