Ingredients
1 large egg
2/3 cup (180 g) Greek yogurt (2% or full-fat recommended)
4 oz (115 g) ripe banana (or 1/2 cup applesauce)
1/3 cup (80 ml) maple syrup (or honey)
1 1/2 cups (150 g) oat flour (or almond flour)
1/2 cup (50 g) protein powder
2 tsp baking powder
1 tsp vanilla extract
1/6 tsp salt
3 to 6 tbsp milk of choice (as needed)
1/4 cup (50 g) dark chocolate chips (optional)
Instructions
Preheat oven to 350°F (180°C) and line a muffin tin with liners. Lightly grease the liners.
In a large bowl, mash the banana until smooth.
Add Greek yogurt, egg, maple syrup, vanilla extract, and salt. Mix until smooth.
Add oat flour, protein powder, and baking powder to the wet mixture.
Gradually add milk, starting with 3 tablespoons and increasing as needed until the batter is smooth but not too runny.
Fold in chocolate chips or desired mix-ins.
Fill each muffin liner about 2/3 full with batter.
Sprinkle extra chocolate chips on top if desired.
Bake for 20–25 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted comes out clean.
Remove from oven and let cool on a wire rack for about 15 minutes before serving.
Notes
The amount of milk may vary depending on the protein powder used.
Do not overbake to keep muffins soft and moist.
You can substitute banana with applesauce for a milder flavor.
Works well with whey, casein, or plant-based protein powders.
