Ingredients Method Notes

Ingredients
  

  • 2 cups white whole wheat flour
  • 1/4 cup sugar
  • 1/4 cup loosely packed light brown sugar
  • 1/2 scoop Superfood protein powder (approximately 2 Tbsp)
  • 3 Tbsp ground flax seeds
  • 1 tsp baking soda
  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • 1/2 tsp cinnamon
Wet Ingredients
  • 1 cup Greek yogurt (plain)
  • 1 egg
  • 4 small overripe bananas (or 3 medium), mashed
  • 1/4 cup milk (or rice milk)
  • 2 Tbsp olive oil
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 1 cup chopped walnuts (optional)

Method
 

  1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Spray (or add muffin liners to) your muffin pans.
  2. Combine dry ingredients in a large mixing bowl.
  3. Combine wet ingredients in a medium mixing bowl, including walnuts (if adding them).
  4. Add wet ingredient mixture to dry ingredient mixture.
  5. Bake for 8 minutes, then turn muffin pans 180 degrees. Bake another 7 minutes. Check muffins. If done, remove from oven. If not done, check in 2 minute increments to ensure they don't burn.

Notes

  • If you prefer loaves of bread instead of muffins, fill a bread pan about 3/4 full and bake longer (probably around 30 minutes)
