Ingredients
Wet Ingredients
- 1.5 Bananas, mashed (about 1/2 cup)
- 1 tsp Vanilla extract
- 1/4 cup Honey
- 1 Egg
Dry Ingredients
- 1 tsp Cinnamon
- 1/3 cup Vegan vanilla protein powder
- 1 tsp Baking powder
- 1/8 cup Gluten-free all purpose baking flour
Instructions
- Preheat the oven: Set your oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit (175 degrees Celsius) to get it ready for baking the muffins.
- Mash the bananas: In a bowl, mash the ripe bananas thoroughly, leaving minimal chunks for a smooth batter texture.
- Mix wet ingredients: Add the vanilla extract, honey, and egg into the mashed bananas, mixing well until all ingredients are combined uniformly.
- Incorporate dry ingredients: Gradually add the cinnamon, vegan vanilla protein powder, baking powder, and gluten-free all-purpose flour to the wet mix, stirring continuously until the batter is smooth and fully combined.
- Prepare the muffin tray: Line a muffin tray with silicone muffin cups to prevent sticking and make cleanup easier.
- Portion batter: Evenly distribute the muffin batter into the prepared silicone cups, filling each about three-quarters full.
- Bake the muffins: Place the tray in the preheated oven and bake for 28 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
- Cool the muffins: Remove the muffins from the oven and allow them to cool completely in the pan before serving to ensure the best texture and flavor.
Notes
