Ingredients
Scale
1 3/4 cups all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 scoop vanilla protein powder
3 ripe bananas, mashed
1/2 cup granulated sugar
1/4 cup unsalted butter, melted
1 large egg
1/4 cup milk
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a 12-cup muffin tin with paper liners.
In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, salt, and protein powder.
In a separate large bowl, mash the bananas well.
Stir the sugar, melted butter, egg, milk, and vanilla extract into the mashed bananas until just combined.
Add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients. Mix gently until you have a moist crumb. Do not overmix.
Spoon the batter evenly into the prepared muffin cups, filling each about two-thirds full.
Bake for 18 to 20 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
Let the muffins cool in the tin for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Notes
Using very ripe, spotty bananas adds natural sweetness and moisture.
Mix the batter just until no dry streaks of flour remain for the best texture.
For extra flavor, add 1/2 cup chopped walnuts or chocolate chips.
