Chocolate Banana Protein Muffins
One problem I have on a weekly basis is overly ripe bananas. I will not eat them once they are completely yellow. And unfortunately, the amigos are the exact same way. So each week, we have 2-3 bananas that are too ripe for anyone to eat. I quickly grew tired of banana bread and the amount of frozen banana bits in our freezer is rather embarrassing. A few weeks ago I noticed a recipe at the bottom of the Kodiak Pancake mix. Since then, the ripe banana epidemic has been abolished. I did make a few changes to the original recipe to make it a little more heart healthy. Also, the Kodiak website is full of recipes using their mix. Go check it out…
Kodiak Chocolate Banana Protein Muffins
ingredients:
2 cups Kodiak Protein Mix
1 cup milk (I have used almond milk in the past)
1 egg
1/2 cup brown sugar
1/4 cup butter, softened not melted (I substitute avocado oil, same measurement)
2 ripe bananas
1 tsp cinnamon
Optional-mini chocolate chips, chopped nuts (I like walnuts), and raisins.
directions:
Place bananas in a mixing bowl and smash til a lumpy paste. Add in the rest of the ingredients and blend until combined. Fill in the muffin tin that is either greased or lined with muffin liners approximately 2/3 full. Bake at 350 degrees F for 8-10 minutes for mini muffins, or 12-14 minutes for regular size muffins. Insert a toothpick to check for doneness.
Nutrition label is with almond milk, avocado oil, chopped walnuts and semi-sweet chocolate chips. Serving size is either 1 regular size muffin or 2 mini muffins. Have you tried this recipe before? Have you made other Kodiak Cakes recipes? Let me know what y’all think and if there are any other variations I need to try. Enjoy!
