Ingredients

• 3 large Ripe bananas
• 2 large Eggs
• 1 cup Plain Greek yogurt
• 0.5 cup Honey
• 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
• 1.5 cups Whole wheat flour
• 1 teaspoon Baking soda
• 0.5 teaspoon Baking powder
• 0.25 teaspoon Salt
• 1 teaspoon Cinnamon
• 0.5 cup Whey protein powder (vanilla or unflavored)
• 0.5 cup Chopped walnuts or chocolate chips (optional)

Directions

Step 1

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

Step 2

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

Step 3

Add the eggs, plain Greek yogurt, honey, and vanilla extract to the mashed bananas. Stir until completely combined and smooth.

Step 4

In another bowl, whisk together the whole wheat flour, baking soda, baking powder, salt, cinnamon, and whey protein powder.

Step 5

Gradually incorporate the dry ingredients into the wet ingredients, stirring gently until no streaks of flour remain. Be careful not to overmix to keep the muffins tender.

Step 6

If using, fold in the chopped walnuts or chocolate chips according to your preference.

Step 7

Divide the batter evenly among the prepared muffin cups, filling each about 3/4 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

Allow the muffins to cool in the tin for about 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.

Step 10

Enjoy warm or store in an airtight container for a quick and nutritious snack.
