Instructions:
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and prepare a muffin tin with paper liners or a light coating of non-stick spray.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the multi-grain oatmeal, oats, cinnamon, whey protein powder, and baking soda. Mix well to ensure even distribution of the ingredients.
In a separate bowl, whisk together the egg whites and flaxseed oil. Ensure that the oil is evenly distributed throughout the egg whites.
In a small bowl, mash the banana using a fork until it reaches a smooth consistency. Add the mashed banana to the wet ingredients and mix thoroughly.
Pour the wet ingredient mixture into the dry ingredient bowl. Stir until all the ingredients are just combined. Be careful not to over-mix.
Add the stevia leaf sweetener to the mixture and stir until evenly incorporated.
Gently fold in the chopped walnuts, ensuring they are evenly dispersed throughout the batter.
Spoon the batter evenly into the prepared muffin tin, filling each cup about three-quarters full.
Place the muffin tin in the preheated oven and bake for 15-20 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of a muffin comes out clean.
Remove the muffins from the oven and let them cool in the tin for about 5 minutes. Then transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely.
