Not Your Average Banana Muffin Recipe

Everyone loves a good banana muffin recipe. Some recipes swear by walnuts, others chocolate chips. I think they’re all delicious. Give me all the muffins! When I bake I like to find ways to incorporate healthy substitutions without sacrificing taste. If you’re skeptical… trust me, it can be done!

I gave these muffins a healthy flare by substituting:

I also added organic peanut butter & vegan protein powder to make these muffins extra satisfying. They’re a great filling snack, or you can toast a couple in the morning for breakfast & spread some peanut butter on them (because nothing is better than warm, melty peanut butter).

For protein powders, I recommend using one you already have that you KNOW you like (some taste like crap let’s be real) or some of the following. I try to buy ones that have zero added sugar or other toxic ingredients I can’t pronounce, and that are made with organic plant based-protein. They are a little pricier, but you get what you pay for, and your health is priceless. In the past I purchased cheaper ones and it caused me so much digestive drama, it was awful.

If you have a peanut allergy, feel free to substitute with you favorite nut butter. Almond, cashew and sunflower seed butter are amazing and go great with banana too!

This recipe is easy, simple and fast. The hardest part is waiting for the muffins to finish baking. They smell absolutely amazing when they’re in the oven, you might drool. If this recipe becomes your new favorite, try doubling it and freeze the leftovers so you have an easy go-to snack.

  • In a small bowl beat the egg until frothy, then whisk in milk and avocado oil.
  • Stir the milk mixture, mashed bananas, and peanut butter into the flour mixture. Continue mixing until ingredients are well combined. Texture should be lumpy to avoid over-mixing.

  • Let muffins cool in tin for 5 minutes until taking them out to further cool on a wire rack or devour immediately & enjoy!

Notes

As mentioned above you can make vegan subsitutions for the following:
egg – 1 flax egg (1 tbs flax + 3 tbs water) or chia egg
milk – non dairy milk works great too!
