Servings: 12
Ingredients
Dry Ingredients
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- ½ cup vanilla protein powder
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- ½ cup chocolate chunks
Wet Ingredients
- 1/2 cup light brown sugar packed
- 1/4 cup maple syrup
- 1 cup mashed banana ~2 medium ripe bananas
- 2 large eggs
- 1/2 cup unsweetened plain almond milk
- 2 tablespoons melted coconut oil
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350ºF, line a muffin pan with muffin liners and spray them with cooking spray.
- Combine all dry ingredients in a medium-sized bowl and set aside. In a separate large bowl, whisk the brown sugar and maple syrup together. Add the mashed banana, eggs, and almond milk and mix until combined.
- Transfer the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients and stir the batter until well combined. Add melted coconut oil and mix again.
- Generously fill each muffin well. We filled ours between 3/4 of the way full and all the way to the top.
- Bake at 350ºF for 18-22 minutes or until a toothpick comes out clean when inserted into the center.
- Remove the muffins from the oven and let them cool for a few minutes before removing them and letting them cool on a wire rack.

Notes
- We think it’s easiest to mash a banana on a plate with a fork and then measure it in a measuring cup once it’s mashed.
- If you don’t have chocolate chunks, you can use chocolate chips.
- This muffin batter should be a thicker batter, but not stodgy. If the batter feels too thick, add a few more tablespoons of almond milk.
- Don’t let the batter sit too long after combining the wet and dry ingredients. If that batter sits too long, the muffins may not rise.
