Ingredients:

1 short spray cooking spray oil
0.30g
3 bananas
410g
1/3 cup peanut butter
81g
1/2 cup almond milk
120g
1/2 cup applesauce
120g
1 tsp vanilla extract
4.20g
1 scoop whey protein powder
30g
1 cup multi-grain oatmeal
80g
2 tsp baking powder
10g
1 tsp baking soda
5g
1/2 tsp cinnamon
1.30g
3 tbsp peanut butter
50g

Instructions:

1. Preheat Oven:
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
2. Prepare Muffin Tin:
- Lightly spray a muffin tin with cooking spray oil. Set aside.
3. Mash Bananas:
- In a large mixing bowl, mash the bananas until smooth.
4. Add Wet Ingredients:
- Add the 1/3 cup peanut butter, almond milk, applesauce, and vanilla extract to the mashed bananas. Stir until well combined.
5. Mix Dry Ingredients Separately:
- In another bowl, combine the whey protein powder, multi-grain oatmeal, baking powder, baking soda, and cinnamon. Mix well.
6. Combine Wet and Dry Mixtures:
- Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, stirring until just combined. Be careful not to over-mix.
7. Fill Muffin Tin:
- Evenly distribute the batter into the prepared muffin tin, filling each cup about 3/4 full.
8. Swirl with Peanut Butter:
- Warm the remaining 3 tbsp of peanut butter slightly to make it easier to swirl. Drop small dollops of the peanut butter on top of each muffin. Use a toothpick or a skewer to gently swirl the peanut butter into the batter.
9. Bake:
- Place the muffin tin in the preheated oven and bake for 18-22 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of a muffin comes out clean.
10. Cool and Serve:
- Allow the muffins to cool in the tin for about 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
11. Enjoy:
- Serve the muffins warm or at room temperature. Store any leftovers in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days, or refrigerate for longer storage.

Tips:

- Use ripe bananas for a natural sweetness and more intense banana flavor.

- If the batter seems too thick, add a bit more almond milk until you reach the desired consistency.

- Swirl the additional peanut butter on top of the muffins just before baking for a lovely visual and extra flavor.

- Ensure the muffins are completely cooled before storing in an airtight container to maintain their freshness.

- You can add a handful of chocolate chips or chopped nuts for extra texture and flavor.

In just a few easy steps, you've created tasty and nutritious Banana Peanut Butter Swirl Protein-Packed Muffins. Perfect for any time of the day, these muffins provide a great source of protein, fiber, and healthy fats. Enjoy them fresh out of the oven or store them for a quick and convenient snack on-the-go.
