Make these simple, high protein muffins using Greek yogurt for a moist texture. This one-bowl recipe is perfect for quick breakfasts or freezer-friendly meal prep.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup mashed ripe banana (about 2 medium bananas)
  • 1/2 cup plain Greek yogurt (2% or full fat recommended)
  • 1/4 cup melted coconut oil or light olive oil
  • 1/3 cup maple syrup or honey
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 scoop (about 30g) vanilla or unflavored protein powder (whey or plant-based)
  • 1 cup whole wheat flour or oat flour
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 cup mix-ins (optional: mini chocolate chips or chopped walnuts)

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a 12-cup muffin tin with paper liners or grease well.
  2. In a large bowl, combine the mashed banana, Greek yogurt, melted oil, maple syrup, and vanilla extract. Whisk until smooth.
  3. Add the eggs to the wet mixture and whisk until fully incorporated.
  4. In the same bowl, add the protein powder, flour, baking soda, cinnamon, and salt. Mix gently with a spatula until just combined. Do not overmix; a few lumps are fine.
  5. If using, fold in your chosen mix-ins.
  6. Divide the batter evenly among the 12 muffin cups, filling each about two-thirds full.
  7. Bake for 18 to 22 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of a muffin comes out clean.
  8. Let the muffins cool in the pan for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.

Notes

  • For the fluffiest protein muffins, measure your flour by spooning it into the measuring cup and leveling it off, rather than scooping directly from the bag.
  • These banana protein muffins freeze well. Cool completely, then store in an airtight, freezer-safe bag for up to three months. Thaw overnight on the counter or microwave briefly.
  • If you prefer a stronger chocolate flavor, use chocolate protein powder and add 1 tablespoon of unsweetened cocoa powder to the dry ingredients.
