Ingredients

• 2 large ripe bananas
• 1 cup vanilla protein powder
• 1 cup all-purpose flour
• 1 teaspoon baking powder
• 0.5 teaspoon baking soda
• 0.25 teaspoon salt
• 0.75 cup unsweetened almond milk
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 0.25 cup coconut oil, melted
• 0.5 cup Greek yogurt
• 0.25 cup honey
• 1 large egg
• 1 package sugar-free instant vanilla pudding mix

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a 12-cup muffin tin with cupcake liners.

Step 2

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

Step 3

Add the vanilla protein powder, flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt to the mashed bananas. Stir until combined.

Step 4

In a separate bowl, whisk together the almond milk, vanilla extract, melted coconut oil, Greek yogurt, honey, and egg until smooth.

Step 5

Combine the wet ingredients with the dry ingredients and mix gently until just combined.

Step 6

Fill each cupcake liner about 3/4 full with the batter.

Step 7

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

Step 8

While the cupcakes are baking, prepare the sugar-free instant vanilla pudding mix according to package instructions using almond milk.

Step 9

Once the cupcakes are done, let them cool completely on a wire rack.

Step 10

Using a small knife, cut a small circle out of the top center of each cooled cupcake to create a hole for the pudding.

Step 11

Fill each hole with the prepared vanilla pudding.

Step 12

Optionally, top with a slice of banana or a sprinkle of crushed protein cookies.

Step 13

Serve immediately or store in the refrigerator until ready to enjoy.
