So while on the oh so addicting site of Pinterest I came across banana muffins (click here,) but they weren't your ordinary muffins. They were made with oats, and greek yogurt! I decided to make them, and they were a hit! After making them a couple of times I decided to get a little creative. I had a request for protein muffins. I thought to myself well, I only have strawberry protein powder on hand... DUH how about strawberry banana protein muffins!!!? The best part? There's no added sugar in my recipe! So, without further adieu I give you the healthiest, nutrient packed muffin recipe.
Makes 6 muffins (can easily be doubled)
1 1/4 c. old fashion oats--not the quick, or instant kind
1 c. greek strawberry yogurt
1 egg
1 banana
1/4 tsp. baking powder
1/2 tsp. baking soda
1 scoop strawberry protein powder
Preheat your hot, flaming, burning box to 400 degree F.
You're gonna blend all of the ingredients, at the same time, in a blender. If you have an old blender like I do, make sure you put the wet ingredients on bottom so that it doesn't get all clogged with the oats! Pour the mix into the muffin tin halfway.
Cook for about 15-20 min. They might not get golden brown, so don't be discouraged. Do the good 'ol toothpick test about 15 min. into baking!
That's all it takes, folks!! Easy, healthy, packed with protein snack!
