shelley marenka

The BEST Vegan Protein Banana Muffins: fluffy, satisfying, and incredibly delicious. They’re the perfect healthy breakfast or snack that comes together easily in 1 bowl in under 30 minutes. Made with just 7 simple ingredients, they’re low in sugar, gluten-free, and oil-free.

Thank you, Lisa Kitahara, for this recipe.

Ingredient

  • 3 medium bananas, mashed (approx. 365g)

  • 2 tbsp coconut sugar

  • 3–4 tbsp non-dairy milk

  • 1 tsp vanilla, optional

  • 1 tsp cinnamon, optional

  • 1 cup + 2 tbsp gluten-free flour (138g // I use half oat flour + half gluten-free flour blend)

  • 2.5 scoops of neutral or vanilla protein powder

  • 1.5 tsp baking powder

  • 1 tsp baking soda

Instructions

  1. Pre-heat oven to 425 F (220 C)

  2. Add mashed banana, coconut sugar, 3 tbsp non-dairy milk, vanilla, and cinnamon into a large bowl and whisk until combined. Add in the flour, vegan protein powder, baking powder, and baking soda. Use a spatula and mix until a thick batter forms. If the batter looks too thick, add an extra tbsp of non-dairy milk (refer to video/photos). 

  3. Divide the batter into 8 muffin tins. Bake for 5 minutes, then reduce the temperature to 350 F, and bake for another 15-20 minutes or until cooked through. Check doneness by inserting a toothpick in the center of one of the muffins; it should come out clean. 

  4. Remove from oven and let it cool in the pan for 5 minutes. Carefully transfer the muffins to a cooling rack and allow them to cool for another 10 minutes before eating. 

Notes

  • If you love this recipe, share with your besties!

  • If using neutral protein, add 1-2 tbsp of coconut sugar for sweetness. The protein powder I recommended above works beautifully!

  • Storage: Keep at room temperature in a container for 2-3 days. Freeze muffins in an airtight container for up to 1 month. To reheat, thaw at room temperature with a lightly damp paper towel over it. Microwave for 20 seconds on high with a lightly damp paper towel wrapped around the muffin.
