If you are looking for a quick breakfast, after-school snack to hold the kids over until dinner, or a before practice pick-me-up… I have found that these high Protein Peanut Butter muffins are perfect!Try serving them with these simple homemade juices (for beginners!)

These muffins are great when you need a healthy snack or a breakfast that will keep the kids full for hours. They are great when we need a snack to give us the energy to make it the rest of the day, too.

These are just as good as our organic apple muffins!

I didn’t use to make these muffins from scratch— I always just bought the muffin mix, until I realized that the ingredients in the packaged muffins weren’t much different from pre-made cookies (not healthy or nutrient-rich). You know what they say… “When you know better, you do better.”

I like to use real fruit and real peanut butter to make them healthier. Oh- and if you love peanut butter, be sure to try these peanut butter chocolate oatmeal bars. YUM!

I also add a little flax seed and wheat germ when I have it on hand.

Plus, these peanut butter banana muffins only have 106 calories per muffin, making them a really healthy go-to snack or meal.

We are ALWAYS on the go (school, sports, work, games, matches, friends’ houses, grandparents’ house… you get the idea!) So, these are a really great muffin to have on hand with 10.3 grams of protein.

I just keep them in an air-tight storage container and they are gone in a day. I often have to double and even triple recipes in our house if I want things to last for more than a day or two. “Growing boys…”

These are a perfect high-protein meal or snackto grab before school, before practice or before work.

Ingredients You Need:

You don’t need much to make this this peanut butter banana muffin recipe. This recipe yields six muffins, more or less, depending on how much batter you put into each muffin cup.

• 2 Tbsp. Peanut Butter
• 1-2 mashed bananas (use ripe bananas)
• ¼ Cup Oatmeal (Uncooked)
• 1 Whole Egg
• ½ Cup Egg Whites
• 1 Scoop Vanilla Protein (we use this one- organic)
• 1 Tsp. Baking Powder
• Dried Banana Chips

Substitutions:

You can substitute almond butter or another nut butter in place of peanut butter. The recipe can be sweetened with a pinch of brown sugar, sugar free stevia, or a teaspoon of maple syrup.
You will not need all- flour or baking soda.

How to make the muffins:

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
• In a small bowl, hand- mix all ingredients together except the banana chips. (Mix the peanut butter, mashed banana, oatmeal, egg, 1/2 cups egg white, vanilla protein, and baking powder in a bowl)
• Place muffin liners (muffin cups) in each holder of a 12-count muffin pan and spray with a light coat of non-stick cooking spray.
• Fill each muffin tin around 2/3 of the way full until you are out of batter.
• Top each uncooked muffin with a few dried banana chips.
• Place the tray on the center rack of the oven and allow it to cook for 12 min.
• The tops of the banana chips should be golden brown when they are about done.
• To check if they are done, insert a toothpick into the center. If the toothpick comes out clean, it means they are done.

We love these muffins because they have a rich peanut butter flavor. They can be eaten warm (sometimes we will put a little butter or maple syrup on them) or at room temperature.

NO matter how you eat them – you’ll always want more! 🙂 Enjoy!
