Notes About Recipe

  • Store in an airtight container at room temperature for the first day and then transfer to the fridge in a sealed container for up to one week.
  • One serving is one muffin.
  • This recipe was developed and tested using a blended whey protein powder. Avoid using whey protein isolate as this will soak up moisture and yield very dense muffins. Brown rice plant-based protein powder will also work. If using a different type of protein powder, results may vary.
  • If you can’t have peanut butter, you can use another nut or seed butter instead.
  • If you can’t have bananas, then applesauce can be substituted.
  • Add chopped walnuts for additional toppings
