Servings: 12 muffins
- ¾ cup rolled old-fashioned oats
- 1 ½ (160 grams) ripe bananas
- 1 cup whey chocolate protein powder I used Clean Simple Eats Brownie Batter
- ½ cup unsweetened almond milk plus more as needed to blend
- 2 large eggs
- ½ teaspoon baking soda
- ½ teaspoon baking powder
- ¼ cup dark chocolate chips + more for topping*
- paper or silicone muffin liners
Preheat oven to 350°F.
Add oats, banana, chocolate protein powder, almond milk and eggs into a high powdered blender and blend until smooth. Add baking soda and baking powder. Blend until combined.
Use a spatula to stir in chocolate chips and then transfer muffin mix into prepared muffin tin lined with paper or silicone liners. Muffin cavities should be filled about 3/4 of the way up and you should be able to fill 12 muffin cups. Sprinkle extra chocolate chips on top of each muffin.
Bake muffins for 20 minutes or until a toothpick comes out clean.
- Protein powder - I highly recommend using a whey protein powder for this recipe. I've tried it with plant-based protein powders and they tend to soak up too much of the liquid so the batter is way too thick.
- Chocolate Chips - I recommend Hu Kitchen's no sugar added chocolate chips or Lily's Dark Chocolate Chips. These options will keep the muffins lower in sugar!
