Time 30m

Number Of Ingredients 10

2 cups oats ((can use quick or rolled))
2 teaspoons baking powder
1 teaspoon baking soda
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/2 cup vanilla protein powder
1 cup mashed banana ((about 2 very large overripe bananas))
1 cup plain 0% Greek yogurt
2 eggs
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
2/3 cup mini dark chocolate chips

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 350 F. Spray regular sized muffin tin with non-stick cooking spray or line 12 muffin tins with silicone liners.
  • Place the oats in the food processor and pulse until the oats are finely ground.
  • Add the remaining ingredients to the food processor other than the chocolate chips. Blend until everything is combined and the oats are mostly smooth.
  • Stir in the chocolate chips until evenly distributed. You may wish to reserve a few chocolate chips to poke into the top of each muffin.
  • Divide batter equally among the muffin cups, and bake for 20-22 minutes, or until an inserted toothpick comes out clean. They should be slightly firm to the touch and lightly golden in some places. Let the muffins cool for several minutes before removing them from the tin.

Time 45m

Yield 12 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 13

2 cups whole wheat flour
3/4 cup brown sugar
1/2 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
2 teaspoons baking soda
3 large overly ripe bananas, mashed
1/2 cup plain fat-free yogurt
2 egg whites
2 teaspoons vanilla extract
1 teaspoon cinnamon
1/2 cup pecans, chopped
1/2 cup raisins
vegetable-oil cooking spray
flour, for dusting pans

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 350°F Spray 12 muffin tins with cooking spray and dust with flour.
  • Set aside.
  • Combine flour, brown sugar, cocoa, and baking soda. Add bananas, yogurt, egg whites, vanilla, pecans, and raisins.
  • Stir.
  • Pour batter into prepared cups and top with oat & bran cereal. Bake until a tooth pick inserted into the middle comes out clean - about 30 - 35 minutes.
  • Cool.

Tips:

  • Use ripe bananas. The riper the bananas, the sweeter and more flavorful your muffins will be.
  • Don't overmix the batter. Overmixing can make the muffins tough.
  • Fill the muffin cups only 2/3 full. This will prevent the muffins from overflowing.
  • Bake the muffins until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. This usually takes about 20-25 minutes.
  • Let the muffins cool in the pan for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
