Share
There’s a smell that fills your home—fresh banana bread. Now, think of that smell as soft muffins with chocolate chips. These Chocolate Chip Banana Bread Muffins mix tasty bits with a boost of protein. They work well for a quick breakfast or a snack that fills you up.
Why These Muffins Are a Healthy Choice
Bananas give a natural sweet taste and provide potassium for your muscles and heart. Added protein helps your muscles grow and repair. It also helps you feel full and steady your energy. If you want more protein, add a scoop of Chocolate Whey Protein. This adds extra protein without changing the taste.
Ingredients You’ll Need
Here is a simple list of things to collect for your muffins:
- 3 ripe bananas, mashed
- 2 large eggs
- 1/3 cup melted coconut oil (or another oil you like)
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 ½ cups whole wheat flour (or gluten-free flour)
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- ½ teaspoon baking powder
- ½ teaspoon salt
- ½ cup brown sugar or coconut sugar
- ½ cup chocolate chips (dark chocolate is a good pick)
- Optional: 1 scoop of Chocolate Whey Protein for extra protein
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Get a muffin tin ready with liners or a light coating of oil.
- In a large bowl, mix the mashed bananas, eggs, melted oil, and vanilla extract. Stir until mixed well.
- In another bowl, stir together the whole wheat flour, baking soda, baking powder, salt, and sugar. Add the protein powder if you choose.
- Pour the dry mix into the wet mix. Stir until the ingredients just join. Do not stir too much.
- Fold in the chocolate chips so they spread throughout the batter.
- Spoon the batter into the muffin tin. Fill each cup about two-thirds full.
- Bake for 18-22 minutes. Test with a toothpick; it should come out clean.
- Let the muffins cool in the tin for a few minutes. Then move them to a cooling rack.
