November 10, 2023

A delightful and protein-packed treat perfect for any time of day. To create these moist and flavorful muffins, start with the natural sweetness of four overripe bananas, mashed to perfection. Add richness and a protein boost with two eggs and two teaspoons of vanilla extract.

Incorporate a quarter cup of natural peanut butter (almond butter works too) for a nutty and creamy flavor profile. In the dry ingredients mix, combine three-quarters cup of coconut flour, one-third cup of vanilla protein powder, cinnamon, and baking powder. This blend ensures a balanced texture and a protein-packed punch.

If you're feeling a bit indulgent, stir in a third cup of dark chocolate chips for that perfect chocolatey twist. Scoop the batter into muffin cups and bake until golden brown.

These PB Banana Protein Muffins are not only quick and easy to make but also a moist and flavorful treat. Enjoy the delightful combination of peanut butter, banana, and chocolate in every bite!

Notes: These pretty much are a starch because mostly bananas with a little fat and protein. Great fruit-free smoothie topper for chewing, yogurt bowl topper, or anytime blood sugar-balancing dessert as your starch. I eat 2 all the time too, don’t forget servings are just suggestions and if it's an active week or you’re just super hungry, your hunger and fullness cues are ultimately in charge of servings. The ultimate goal is to honor those.
