Ingredients

Ripe Bananas (mashed): 3 large
Eggs: 2 large
Milk (any kind): 1/2 cup
Maple Syrup or Honey: 1/4 cup
Vanilla Extract: 1 tsp
Whole Wheat Flour: 1 cup
Protein Powder (vanilla or unflavored): 1/2 cup
Baking Powder: 1 tsp
Baking Soda: 1/2 tsp
Cinnamon: 1/2 tsp
Salt: 1/4 tsp
Optional: Chocolate Chips or Nuts: 1/2 cup

Instructions

1. 1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a 12-cup muffin tin with paper liners or grease it well.

2. 2. In a large bowl, thoroughly mash your ripe bananas.

3. 3. Add eggs, milk, maple syrup (or honey), and vanilla extract to the mashed bananas. Whisk until well combined.

4. 4. In a separate bowl, combine whole wheat flour, protein powder, baking powder, baking soda, cinnamon, and salt. Whisk these dry ingredients together.

5. 5. Gradually add the dry mixture to the wet mixture. Mix until just combined. Overmixing creates tough muffins.

6. 6. Fold in any optional add-ins, like chocolate chips or nuts.

7. 7. Divide the batter evenly among the 12 muffin cups.

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

9. 9. Let the high protein banana muffins cool in the tin for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack.
