Perfect Banana Nut Protein Muffins

Directions

1Buy 4 bananas and let them sit on the counter all week long until they are looking very black. I like to buy bananas one weekend and make the muffins the following weekend.

2Preheat oven to 350 degrees and lightly oil or line a 12 cup muffin tin with cupcake papers.

3Grab a small bowl to mash bananas in; mash for a bit then prep the rest of the recipe. Mash a bit more and let sit while you prep the rest of the recipe more. I find that the banana mash is better if you mash and let it sit for while.

4Whisk together flour, almond flour, protein powder, flax meal baking powder, baking soda, salt, and cinnamon. Set aside.

5Add nuts to a small snack bag and hammer to a nice thin crumble.

6In a mixing bowl, whisk together 1 beaten egg, banana mash, coconut sugar (each 1/4 cup is of sugar is filled 3/4 full), coconut oil, and vanilla. Add dry ingredient mixture slowly and stir by hand. Add smashed nuts, stir by hand just until combined.

7Divide batter among 12-cup muffin tin sometimes 15 or 16 cup muffin tins depending on how full you fill each tin.

8Bake at 350 for ... about 15 minutes. Start checking at 12 minutes and add 3 minutes on to the time until muffins are golden and a tooth pick inserted comes out clean. Again baking time depends on how full the muffin tins are and how chunky the banana mash.

9I have made this recipe over and over and over until I felt I had the perfect blend of ingredients to keep a dessert, family, kid approved taste with as much health as possible.
