Description
At its core, a protein banana oatmeal muffin is a nutrient-dense powerhouse disguised as a moist, fluffy snack. Unlike traditional muffins found in coffee shops—which are often essentially cake masquerading as breakfast—this version focuses on balance. By swapping out refined white flour for rolled oats and boosting the amino acid profile with high-quality protein powder and Greek yogurt, we create a snack that supports muscle recovery and keeps you full for hours.
Ingredients
2 ripe bananas (mashed)
1 cup rolled oats (or oat flour)
2 large eggs
½ cup Greek yogurt (plain)
¼ cup milk (any kind)
2–3 tbsp honey or maple syrup (adjust to taste)
1 scoop protein powder (vanilla or unflavored, ~25–30 g)
1 tsp baking powder
½ tsp baking soda
1 tsp cinnamon (optional)
1 tsp vanilla extract
Pinch of salt
Optional add-ins: chocolate chips, chopped nuts, or raisins
Instructions
Preheat oven to 180 °C (350 °F). Line or grease a muffin tray.
Blend oats into flour if you prefer a smoother texture (optional).
In a bowl, mash bananas until smooth.
Add eggs, yogurt, milk, honey, and vanilla → whisk well.
Stir in oats (or oat flour), protein powder, baking powder, baking soda, cinnamon, and salt.
Fold in any add-ins.
Divide batter into muffin cups (about ¾ full).
Bake 15–20 minutes until a toothpick comes out clean.
Cool for 5–10 minutes, then enjoy.
