Ingredients:
Instructions:
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
- Lightly spray a muffin tin with cooking spray oil. Set aside.
- In a large mixing bowl, mash the bananas until smooth.
- Add the 1/3 cup peanut butter, almond milk, applesauce, and vanilla extract to the mashed bananas. Stir until well combined.
- In another bowl, combine the whey protein powder, multi-grain oatmeal, baking powder, baking soda, and cinnamon. Mix well.
- Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, stirring until just combined. Be careful not to over-mix.
- Evenly distribute the batter into the prepared muffin tin, filling each cup about 3/4 full.
- 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.
- 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.
- Allow the muffins to cool in the tin for about 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
- 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.
