Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a 12-cup muffin tin with paper liners.
- In a large bowl, mash 2 ripe bananas until relatively smooth (about ¾ cup mashed).
- Add 3 large eggs to the mashed bananas and whisk until combined.
- Add ¾ cup oat flour, ½ cup unsweetened protein powder, ½ cup coconut sugar, 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon, 2 teaspoons baking powder, and ½ teaspoon fine sea salt. Stir until the dry ingredients are mostly incorporated.
- Pour in ¼ cup olive oil and stir until the batter is smooth and there are no large lumps; avoid overmixing.
- Fold in ½ cup chopped walnuts or chocolate chips, if using.
- Divide the batter evenly among the 12 muffin cups (a ¼-cup measure works well); top off cups with any remaining batter so they are evenly filled.
- Bake at 350°F for 25 minutes, or until the muffin tops feel firm and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean or with a few moist crumbs.
- Let the muffins cool in the pan for 15 minutes, then transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely before serving.
- Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 5 days.

Nutrition information is for 1 of 12 muffins without any extra add-ins. This information is automatically calculated using generic ingredients, so it’s just an estimate, not a guarantee.
*I tested this recipe with
Garden of Life Unsweetened Plant Protein Powder
, which has 44g of protein in a 1/2 cup serving. If you use a flavored protein powder, you may want to cut back on the added sugar in this recipe, and other protein powders may vary on the exact protein amount.
Note:
The size of your bananas will affect how much these muffins rise. If you use bananas that are on the smaller side, the muffins will have more of a dome-shaped top. I used very large bananas in these photos, so the tops turned out slightly more flat. Just something to keep in mind!
