WHAT MAKES THESE BANANA PROTEIN MUFFINS HEALTHY?
Added protein – Muffins are typically loaded in sugar and carbs and have little to no protein in them. This recipe has protein powder in it making these muffins a more balanced meal!
gluten free oat flour – gluten free oat flour in this recipe rather than bleached white flour. Oat flour is a great source of whole grains and so much better for you than regular white flour! This is the oat flour I like
Low in sugar – This recipe is sweetened only by ripe bananas and a touch of honey (and some chocolate chips for good measure) Many banana muffin recipes are loaded with sugar, but this has only 7g of all natural sugar per muffin.
Heart healthy fats – Instead of using butter or canola oil, this recipe uses coconut oil to keep it moist, and you can also add some walnuts in it for healthy fats if you like!
