Ingredients

2 large bananas 1 cup mashed
1 egg
2 tablespoon maple syrup
½ teaspoon vanilla
¾ cup oat flour
½ cup protein powder
1 teaspoon baking powder
½ teaspoon baking soda
¼ teaspoon salt
¼ cup chocolate chips – and optional to sprinkle more on top.

Instructions

Preheat oven to 350F and line a muffin tin with liners. Spray liners with non-stick spray as well.
In a large bowl, mash two bananas very well until no lumps remain.
Whisk in egg, maple syrup, and vanilla. Set aside.
In a smaller bowl, mix together oat flour, protein powder, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
Add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients and stir until combined.
Fold in chocolate chips.
Scoop into muffin tins until about ¾ full. I like to use a cookie scoop to make this easy! If you are adding more chocolate chips on top, add them now.
Bake at 350F for 15 minutes or until toothpick inserted in the middle comes out clean.
Store on counter or in fridge for up to 5 days. Freeze for longer.

Notes

Mash the bananas really well until no lumps remain. This is key for getting that smooth, fluffy muffin texture. Two large ripe bananas should give you about 1 cup of mashed banana — that's the amount you need for this recipe.
Use a cookie scoop to fill the muffin tins. It makes the process so much easier and ensures all your muffins come out the same size! Fill each cup about ¾ full so they have room to rise.
Spray your muffin liners with nonstick spray in addition to lining the tin. This little step makes peeling the liners off so much easier and keeps the muffins from sticking. Don't skip it!
