Instructions

Step 1

Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a muffin tray with liners or use a silicone muffin tray.

Step 2

In a large bowl, whisk together the protein powder, flour, baking powder, and salt.

Step 3

Add the peanut butter, banana, and maple syrup and stir with a spatula until combined. Fold in the chocolate chips.

Step 4

Divide the batter evenly between muffin cups. Bake for 13 to 15 minutes or until firm to the touch and a toothpick inserted comes out clean. Let the muffins cool in the pan for 10 to 15 minutes before removing and transferring to a cooling rack to cool completely. Enjoy!

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
• Disclaimer: This recipe adds some protein to an otherwise low protein recipe. That being said, not all recipes need to be modified to have more “health” (vitamins, minerals, fibre, protein, etc.). Especially if they are a treat, or a tasty snack – which are more about enjoyment than nutrition. This is because a treat or snack implies a smaller portion of food, in particular a treat is something you shouldn’t be having daily. Therefore, it’s effect on what your overall diet looks like should be minimal.
