Ingredients
- ½ cup whole wheat pastry flour
- ½ cup rolled oats
- ¾ cup protein powder
- 1 tbsp cinnamon
- 1 tsp baking powder
- ¼ tsp sea salt
- ½ cup walnuts, finely chopped (try a quick blitz in a blender)
- 1 cup mashed banana, (about 3 very ripe bananas)
- 3 tbsp maple syrup
- 1 egg
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Prepare a 6-muffin tin with liners or lightly coat with avocado oil or olive oil.
- In a large bowl, mix the wet ingredients: mashed banana, maple syrup, egg, and vanilla. Next, add in the dry ingredients (flour, oats, protein powder, cinnamon, baking powder, sea salt, and half the walnuts) and stir until just combined. Do not overmix, or you may be left with dense muffins.
- Fill each muffin cup almost to the top. Sprinkle the remaining walnuts over the tops of the muffins.
- Bake for 25-28 minutes until golden brown and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
- Cool in the muffin tin for 10 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.
