Here’s how to make your own Chocolate Banana Protein Muffins:
Ingredients:
2 scoops Arbonne Chocolate Protein
1 scoop Arbonne Fiber Boost (grab your ingredients here)
1/2 cup oats (you can use rolled oats or oat flour)
1 tsp baking soda
1 egg
2 ripe bananas (the riper, the better for natural sweetness!)
1 tsp vanilla extract
1/4 cup almond milk (or any milk of your choice)
2 tbsp almond butter (adds creaminess and healthy fats)
Instructions: Start by preheating your oven to 350°F (175°C). Then, line a muffin tin with paper liners or lightly grease it.
In a large bowl, mash the two ripe bananas until they’re smooth. The riper the bananas, the sweeter your muffins will be! Once mashed, add 2 scoops of Arbonne Chocolate Protein Powder. This gives your muffins a rich chocolate flavor while providing plant-based protein for a filling snack.
Next, mix in 1 scoop of Arbonne Fiber Boost for a little extra fiber to support digestion. Add 1/2 cup of oats (you can grind them into a flour-like texture if you prefer), 1 teaspoon of baking soda, and a pinch of salt. Stir all these dry ingredients together.
In a separate bowl, whisk together 1 egg, 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract, 1/4 cup almond milk, and 2 tablespoons of almond butter. Once your wet ingredients are well combined, add them to the dry ingredients and mix everything together until just combined. The almond butter helps bind everything and adds a creamy texture that complements the chocolate and banana flavor perfectly.
Spoon the batter evenly into the muffin tin, filling each cup about 2/3 full. Bake at 350°F for about 30 minutes or until a toothpick comes out clean. Once baked, allow the muffins to cool in the pan for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
These Chocolate Banana Protein Muffins are the perfect balance of sweetness and protein. The banana adds natural sweetness, while the chocolate protein provides a rich flavor and helps keep you satisfied longer. They’re a great option for breakfast, a snack, or even a post-workout treat.
Enjoy these muffins with a cup of coffee or your favorite tea, and you’ve got yourself a delicious and nutritious treat that will keep you fueled and satisfied throughout the day!
