Oh hi!<\/p>\n

It’s been quite some time since my last post. Life happened! We had our baby boy James, who is now just over a year old. Then we built our new home and moved in.<\/p>\n

We just finished unpacking last week. Whew… what a year!<\/p>\n

But now I am back on track, with lots of exciting new plans for the coming months.<\/p>\n

For this first post in ages, I’ve decided to make a recipe very similar to my apple protein muffins<\/a>\u00a0.\u00a0That particular recipe received tons of love from you guys so I am confident that this one will make a lot of people happy.<\/p>\n

Like my apple protein muffins, these banana oat protein muffins are pretty simple to make. But don’t be fooled though, the mix is pretty damn effective. They pack a lot of flavor for a 100% sugar-free snack.<\/p>\n

How to Make Banana Protein Muffins<\/h2>\n

1. Make your own oat flour.\u00a0<\/strong>You will start by turning half of the oatmeal into oat flour using a blender or food processor. Don’t worry, it is very simple, see instructions below!<\/p>\n

2. Mash those bananas!\u00a0<\/strong>Again very simple. Mash those 3 bananas using a fork. Alternatively, you could pulse them in a blender or use a hand mixer.<\/p>\n

3. Combine all the dry ingredients, stir well.<\/strong> Mix the oatmeal (both ground and whole), protein powder, baking powder, and ground walnuts together.<\/p>\n

4. Melt Coconut oil.\u00a0<\/strong>Over low heat, please! And make sure it does not get hot as you will burn the other ingredients.<\/p>\n

5. Whisk the wet ingredients together.\u00a0<\/strong>Make sure the mashed banana, milk and coconut oil are stirred well.<\/p>\n

6. Mix the dry and wet ingredients together. <\/strong>Gradually incorporate the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients. Stir until smooth.<\/p>\n

7. Lay a 12-muffin tin with paper muffin cups.<\/strong><\/p>\n

8. Pour the batter evenly between the 12-muffin cups.\u00a0<\/strong>The recipe should make between 10 and 12 muffins.<\/p>\n

9. Bake until golden brown.<\/strong> Or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.<\/p>\n

10. Remove the muffin tray from the oven. <\/strong>Place the muffins on a rack to cool down.<\/p>\n
