Banana Protein Muffins

[*susan* 1,709]

Hey guys, I found this recipe on Pinterest, and it is really yummy, so I thought I would share it with you. Each muffin has 58 calories, 9 carbs and 7 grams of Protein.

Ingredients:

3/4 cup Ripe banana (about 1 large banana)

3/4 cup Egg whites

1/2 cup Plain low fat greek yogurt (I used plain Chobani yogurt)

3/4 cup Oats (use gluten free if sensitive to gluten)

2 scoop vanilla Protein powder (I used Designer Whey™, or you could use any flavor you would like!)

1/4 cup Baking stevia OR 1/2 cup sweetener of choice that measures like sugar

1 tsp Baking powder

1 tsp Baking soda

1/2 tsp Cinnamon

Preheat oven to 350. Spray muffin tin with non-stick cooking spray or line with silicone or foil liners (spray liners if using).

Place all of the ingredients into a blender and blend until mixture is smooth.

Divide mixture evenly between 12 muffin tins.

Bake for 15-18 minutes, or until toothpick comes out clean.

(Note: be sure to use either silicone or foil liners with the paper insert removed because they will stick, as does any muffin made with oats rather than flour!)

LOL, that was fast! Glad you enjoyed them. I like making them on Sunday, then I have a quick Breakfast or mid morning snack of them throughout the week.

Not sure if baking Protein Powder is a good thing I'm sure it messes with the integrity of the Protein anyone know about this?

If you search the internet, there are tons of recipes made with Protein powder. If cooking denatured Proteins to the point that they were unusable by the body, we would all be eating our steaks raw. Heating the whey past about 105 degrees F will break some of the peptide linkages between the amino acids, but it will in no way render the amino acids useless (unless they heated to the point that the amino acids began to react, which is extremely unlikely).
