Ingredients
Scale
- 3 ripe bananas, mashed
- 2 large eggs
- ⅓ cup white sugar
- ¾ cup sour cream
- 2 cups oat flour (blend oats until fine)
- 2 teaspoon baking powder
- 1 scoop vanilla protein powder (optional, add more or skip as desired)
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- ½ teaspoon salt
- 1 ½ cups semi-sweet chocolate chips (plus extra for topping)
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a muffin tin with paper liners or lightly grease with nonstick spray.
- In a large mixing bowl, mash bananas until smooth. Whisk in eggs, sugar, and sour cream until combined.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together oat flour, baking powder, protein powder, baking soda, and salt.
- Gradually fold the dry ingredients into the wet mixture until just combined—do not overmix.
- Stir in chocolate chips, reserving a few for topping.
- Divide batter evenly among muffin cups, filling each about ¾ full. Sprinkle extra chocolate chips on top.
- Bake for 18–22 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean (a few moist crumbs are fine).
- Let muffins cool in the pan for 5 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.
Notes
- Store muffins in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days, or refrigerate for 5 days.
- For freezer storage, wrap individually and freeze for up to 2 months. Thaw at room temperature or microwave before serving.
- Can substitute Greek yogurt for sour cream for extra protein.
- Customize by adding nuts, seeds, or swapping chocolate chips for dried fruit.
