• 0.5 cup dark chocolate chips or chopped nuts (optional)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a 12-cup muffin tin with liners or grease with coconut oil or non-stick spray.

In a large mixing bowl, mash the bananas until smooth.

In a separate bowl, combine the rolled oats, whey protein powder, baking powder, baking soda, cinnamon, and salt. Mix well.

Step 5

Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, stirring until just combined. Do not overmix.

Step 6

If desired, fold in dark chocolate chips or chopped nuts for added texture and flavor.

Step 7

Evenly distribute the batter into the prepared muffin tin, filling each cup about three-quarters full.

Step 8

Bake in the preheated oven for 18-20 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of a muffin comes out clean.

Step 9

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

Enjoy your Muscle Muffins warm or store them in an airtight container for up to 5 days. They also freeze well for longer storage.
