I’m always looking for uses for bananas, and I love a good protein muffin. Of course, this often involves lots of googling until you find a recipe for which you have all of the ingredients.

I found this recipe on www.homebeccanomics.com, which I’ll have to spend some more time investigating. I wish the author had listed the nutritional information, but I went ahead and calculated it. Just for you guys.

You’re welcome.

Preheat the oven to 375.

Mix the dry ingredients (flour, protein powder, cocoa powder, baking powder, baking soda) in a bowl, set aside.

In your stand mixer, mix the bananas, eggs, yogurt, oil, sugar, and vanilla.

Fold the dry ingredients into the wet ingredients partially, then add the chocolate chips and walnuts, finish mixing.

Partially fill muffin tins (greased with cooking spray) and bake for 15-18 min. I used a muffin top pan instead of a traditional muffin pan, because that’s how I roll.
