I love banana muffins and I love trail mix! This recipe combines the two. What’s better than a muffin with a little salty, sweet, and crunchy? Just grab 2 cups of your favorite trail mix and you can have a satisfying breakfast treat too.
Ingredients:
2 ripe bananas mashed up
1 egg
¼ cup nonfat vanilla Greek yogurt
1/3 cup unsweetened applesauce
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 banana sliced and quartered
2 cups your favorite trail mix
½ cup whole wheat flour
½ cup almond flour
1 scoop vanilla protein powder
2-4 tablespoons powdered peanut butter
½ teaspoon baking powder
½ teaspoon salt
Directions:
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Spray 12-15 muffin tins with nonstick spray.
- Add 2 bananas, vanilla extract, egg, applesauce, and yogurt to a stand mixer and mix on medium to combine.
- Whisk flours, protein powder, peanut butter, baking soda, and salt in a medium bowl.
- Gradually add in the dry ingredients.
- Fold in the chopped banana and trail mix. You can reserve some trail mix to sprinkle on top of each muffin if you want. I folded it all in.
- Use a large cookie scooper to fill muffin tins.
- Bake 20-25 minutes until muffins are done.
- Let cool on a wire rack for at least ten minutes before removing from tins.
- Store in an air-tight container. I refrigerate muffins after 48 hours.
- Enjoy!
