Ingredients

• 1 cup rolled oats
• 0.5 cup almond flour
• 0.5 cup vanilla protein powder
• 1 teaspoon baking powder
• 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
• 1 cup mashed ripe banana
• 0.5 cup unsweetened almond milk
• 2 large eggs
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 3 tablespoons honey or maple syrup
• 0.25 cup dark chocolate chips (optional)
• 2 tablespoons chia seeds or flaxseeds
• 0.25 teaspoon salt

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a 12-cup muffin tin with paper liners or grease it lightly with cooking spray.

Step 2

In a large bowl, combine rolled oats, almond flour, vanilla protein powder, baking powder, ground cinnamon, and salt. Stir until well mixed.

Step 3

In a separate bowl, mash the ripe banana until smooth. Add the almond milk, eggs, vanilla extract, and honey (or maple syrup). Whisk until well combined.

Step 4

Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and stir until just combined. Be careful not to overmix.

Step 5

Fold in the chia seeds (or flaxseeds) and dark chocolate chips, if using.

Step 6

Evenly distribute the batter among the 12 muffin cups, filling each about 3/4 full.

Step 7

Bake in the preheated oven for 18-22 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of a muffin comes out clean.

Step 8

Remove the muffin tin from the oven and let the muffins cool for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.

Step 9

Store the muffins in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days, or refrigerate for up to a week. They can also be frozen for longer storage.
