Healthy Banana Muffins
My family eats a lot of bananas; however, sometimes I buy too many bananas to use up in a week. I had a bunch of ripe bananas just sitting on the counter and they were calling to me, so I decided to whip up a batch of banana muffins for breakfast snacks.
Ingredients:
1 ¼ cups coconut flour
1 scoop (1/4 cup) vanilla protein powder
1 teaspoon baking powder
1 teaspoon cinnamon
½ teaspoon baking soda
½ teaspoon salt
4 tablespoons melted coconut oil
2 egg whites
3-4 bananas mashed, 1 banana sliced
¼ cup dark brown sugar
¼ cup honey
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 tablespoon sugar in the raw for sprinkling on top
Directions:
- Preheat oven to 400 degrees and spray muffin liners with nonstick spray.
- Add flour, protein powder, baking powder, cinnamon, baking soda, and salt to a medium bowl and whisk to combine.
- Add 3-4 bananas, honey, brown sugar, egg whites, and vanilla extract to a stand mixer and mix to mash bananas and combine.
- Fold in dry ingredients scraping the edge of the bowl.
- Fold in sliced bananas.
- Use a large cookier scooper to fill muffin tins and gently press mix in the pan.
- Sprinkle 1 tablespoon sugar in the raw over the tops of the muffins.
- Bake 22-25 minutes until muffins are beginning to brown.
- Let muffins cool in the pan for 10 minutes.
- Cool muffins on a wire rack and enjoy these are delicious.
- Store muffins in an air-tight container.
