Print Recipe

Moist and tender muffins made with just five simple ingredients, combining Greek yogurt, ripe bananas, and protein powder for a quick, satisfying breakfast or snack.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 medium ripe bananas, mashed
  • 1 cup (240 ml) plain Greek yogurt (full-fat or 2%)
  • 1 cup (30 g) vanilla protein powder (whey or plant-based)
  • 2 large eggs, room temperature
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and position the rack in the center.
  2. Peel and mash 2 medium ripe bananas with a fork or potato masher until mostly smooth but with a few lumps for texture.
  3. In a large bowl, whisk together the mashed bananas, Greek yogurt, and eggs until fully combined and smooth.
  4. In a separate bowl, stir together the protein powder and baking powder until evenly mixed.
  5. Gradually fold the dry mixture into the wet ingredients gently with a spatula or spoon until just combined. Do not overmix.
  6. Spoon the batter evenly into a greased or lined 12-cup muffin tin, filling each cup about 3/4 full.
  7. Bake for 18-22 minutes, starting to check at 18 minutes by inserting a toothpick into the center of a muffin; it should come out clean or with a few moist crumbs.
  8. Let the muffins cool in the pan for 5 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.

Notes

Use ripe bananas with brown spots for maximum sweetness and moisture. Do not overmix the batter to keep muffins light and tender. Let muffins cool completely before removing from the pan to prevent breaking. If protein powder is dense, sift before mixing to avoid clumps. Muffins can be stored at room temperature for 2 days, refrigerated up to a week, or frozen for up to 3 months.
