Description

Classic banana muffin flavor with a boost of extra protein!


Ingredients

Units Scale
  • 3 medium bananas, mashed
  • 3 large eggs
  • 1/2 cup cottage cheese
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 2 1/2 cups almond flour
  • 1/2 cup vanilla protein powder*
  • 1/3 cup coconut sugar
  • 2 teaspoons baking powder
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 cup no-added sugar chocolate chips (optional)

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 350 degrees.
  2. In a medium bowl, combine the mashed banana, eggs, cottage cheese, and vanilla extract.
  3. Add the almond flour, vanilla protein powder, baking powder, and salt. Fold in the chocolate chips, if using, reserving a few for the top of the muffins.
  4. Transfer the batter to a muffin pan with muffin liners so each cup is just full. Sprinkle the tops with the reserved chocolate chips.
  5. Bake in the preheated oven for 15-19 minutes, until a toothpick inserted in the center of a muffin comes out clean.
  6. Allow muffins to cool on a baking rack before enjoying!
