Banana Blueberry Protein Muffins: A Low-Sugar, Kid-Friendly Breakfast + Snack Idea
I came up with this recipe when I was looking to mix up my weekend breakfast bowl which usually consists of banana bread, greek yogurt, blueberries and banana - with an egg on the side.
I love experimenting with baked goods to find lower sugar, higher protein options, especially since these double as a kid-friendly snack.
This is a riff off of @bewellbykelly recipe from a few years ago, and it worked really well!
Note that while these use greek yogurt and protein powder, by no means are they “high protein” - each has about 7g. That’s why I combine mine in a bowl with Greek yogurt and have an egg on the side to get to that 30g minimum at breakfast!
Don’t be scared to combine protein sources to help you reach your goal 😊
Give these a try and let me know what you think!
Wet ingredients:
¼ cup Greek yogurt (I used @stonyfield fat free)
⅓ cup unsweetened almond milk
2 very ripe bananas
2 eggs
1 teaspoon apple cider vinegar
1 tablespoon vanilla extract
Dry ingredients:
2 cups almond flour
1 scoop @bewellbykelly chocho bean protein powder (I used unflavored but vanilla would be great too and perhaps make them a touch sweeter)
⅔ cup arrowroot flour
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon baking soda
dash of cinnamon
1 ½ cup blueberries
Directions
Preheat oven to 350 F.
Combine the dry ingredients in a large bowl. Blend the wet ingredients in a blender and then mix together in the bowl with the dry. Bake for 25-30 minutes and enjoy!
