Ingredients
  

  • 2 ripe bananas mashed
  • 1 cup fresh blueberries
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1/3 cup honey or maple syrup
  • 1/4 cup plain Greek yogurt
  • 1/4 cup milk
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 cup oat flour
  • 1/2 cup vanilla protein powder
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
  • 1 pinch salt

Instructions
  

Prepare the Oven and Muffin Tin

  • Preheat your oven to 180°C or 350°F. Line a muffin tin with paper liners or lightly grease it with oil. This helps prevent sticking and makes cleanup easier later.

Mash the Bananas

  • Place the ripe bananas in a bowl. Use a fork to mash them until smooth. Small lumps are fine. The bananas add natural sweetness and moisture to the muffins.

Mix the Wet Ingredients

  • Add eggs, honey, Greek yogurt, milk and vanilla extract to the mashed bananas. Whisk everything together until smooth and creamy. The mixture should look thick but easy to stir.

Combine the Dry Ingredients

  • In another bowl, mix oat flour, protein powder, baking powder, baking soda, cinnamon and salt. Stir well so everything spreads evenly. This step helps the muffins rise properly.

Mix Wet and Dry Together

  • Slowly add the dry ingredients into the wet mixture. Stir gently using a spoon or spatula. Do not overmix. Stop when you no longer see dry flour.

Fold in the Blueberries

  • Carefully fold in the blueberries. Be gentle so they do not break. This keeps the muffins pretty and full of juicy bursts.

Fill the Muffin Cups

  • Spoon the batter evenly into the muffin liners. Fill each about three-quarters full. This gives them room to rise without overflowing.

Bake the Muffins

  • Place the tray in the oven. Bake for 20 to 22 minutes. The tops should look golden. Insert a toothpick into the center. If it comes out clean, they are ready.

Cool Before Serving

  • Remove the muffins from the oven. Let them cool in the tin for five minutes. Then transfer them to a cooling rack. This keeps the bottoms from getting soggy.

Notes

  • Use very ripe bananas for extra sweetness.
  • Frozen blueberries work well. Do not thaw them first.
  • Add chopped nuts for crunch.
  • Sprinkle oats on top before baking.
  • Replace honey with maple syrup for a vegan option.
  • Use chocolate protein powder for a different flavor.
