PB + BANANA PROTEIN BLENDER MUFFINS

Hi there folks!

Looking for the perfect quick snack for pre or post workout? Look no further.

I am always looking for some new snack situation to make for those moments when hanger strikes and I need something fast.

A few years ago when I was fully plant based (+ not doing corn, gluten or soy 😅) working on getting my health back on track, I used white beans in so many ways. One of my favorites was a chickpea cookie dough. OMG! (I will work on getting that up sometime!)

Anyway, I randomly made these muffins one night before heading out to see my grandparents in Arizona and they just worked so well I continued to make them regularly for a couple years. Then stopped.

I randomly remembered them last week and was like...ding, ding, ding.

I now welcome them back into the lineup.

& I hope you do too.

They only require a few ingredients and are so easy to make. You literally just chuck everything into a blender or food processor. Boom.

I mean, just look at them! 🤤

INGREDIENTS

• 1/2 cup oats

• 3/4 teaspoon baking powder

• 1/8 teaspoon baking soda

• 1/8 teaspoon baking soda

• 1/4 teaspoon salt

• 1/2 cup mashed banana; one medium sized banana

• 1 can chickpeas (or any white bean) rinsed, drained and towel dried

• 1/4 cup peanut butter, heaping

• 1/4 cup pure maple syrup

• 2 tsp pure vanilla bean paste

• pinch of cinnamon

• optional : sliced banana for topping, chocolate chips, nuts, etc.

DIRECTIONS

1. Preheat oven to 350°F and line a muffin tin with liners.

2. Add all ingredients to a food processor or blender and blend until completely smooth. Takes about a minute to get a nice creamy consistency.

3. Pour into muffin tins evenly (I use a cookie scoop to ensure even sized muffins).

4. Top with optional slice of banana and bake for 20 minutes.

5. Enjoy!

NOTES

• I love to enjoy these with a drizzle of peanut butter on top.

• Store in airtight container in the fridge to keep fresh. Will last for about 7 days. They will turn quickly on the counter.

• These freeze and thaw nicely. Makes 12 muffins.

As always, thanks for being here.
