65 calories and 4 grams of protein in each banana muffin!
low calorie and high protein banana muffins to start your day off right! perfect if you're on the go or want a tasty breakfast at home.
these banana protein muffins are not only delicious but an easy way to sneak some extra protein into your breakfast.
my favorite way to start my day is to eat one cold while i warm the other banana muffin up for 15 seconds in the microwave! i have notoriously done this ever since i was a kid and this clearly still hasn't changed!
the only difference is that i used to do this with waffles...but these muffins are way better for me. BONUS! there is no added sugar to this recipe, simply the bananas for sweetness.
are you someone that is always on the move and the days seems to get more hectic as the week goes on? these are PERFECT for you!
they are easy to meal prep on a sunday to throughout the week. with this in mind, i enjoy them just as much straight from the fridge as i do when i take them out of the oven or microwave.

IMPORTANT NOTE! this recipe uses nuzest protein powder, which is my go-to for baking! it doesn't have a grainy texture or processed flavor like some do. flavor and texture is is super important for baking, making this a key component when incorporating protein powder into a recipe.
