Protein Banana Muffins (DF, GF)

These protein banana muffins have been on repeat in my house. Each muffin contains 9g of protein. They make for the perfect snack or sweet tooth craving.

Almond Flour

This recipe calls for almond flour. Almonds are known for being nutritious & satisfying, providing vitamin E, protein, fiber, magnesium, and monounsaturated fats. Not only do almonds offer protein, healthy fats, and fiber, they are also very low in carbohydrates, low-glycemic index, & gluten-free.

One cup of almond flour contains about 90 almonds and provides more than 100% of the daily requirement for vitamin E. It’s super versatile and can be used in all kinds of baked foods. It packs a potent punch of nutrition, unlike a typical overly processed bleached wheat flour. I like to use almond flour when I make banana bread or blueberry pancakes.

Protein Banana Muffins

Add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients. Do not overmix. Add almond butter until combined. Add chocolate chips. Pour into muffin liners. This recipe makes about 14 muffins.
