Ingredients
1cupplain Greek yogurtany fat percentage will work
2spotty bananas
2eggs
1teaspoonvanilla extract
¼cupmaple syrup
1.5cupsrolled oats
½cupvanilla protein powderor unflavoured *see notes below
1.5teaspoonbaking powder
½teaspoonbaking soda
Pinchof salt
¼cupchocolate chipsoptional
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 400F and prepare a 12-cavity muffin tray (I recommend using a silicone baking tray for best results).
- In a high powered blender add greek yogurt, bananas, eggs, vanilla extract and maple syrup. Add oats, protein powder, baking powder, baking soda and salt. Blend until smooth (about 2-3 minutes).
- Divide the batter between the 12 muffin cavities. If using, top each muffin with chocolate chips, gently stirring each to combine. Bake for 15-20 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center of the batter comes out clean.
Notes
I find mini chocolate chips work best in this recipe. I have tested the batter using larger chocolate chips and they seem to be heavier, resulting in them sinking to the bottom of the muffins.
If you are choosing to omit the protein powder, I recommend substituting with an additional ½ cup of oats or ½ cup almond flour.
