Protein Banana Bread Muffins

Give these protein packed banana oatmeal muffins a go when you’re on the go.

These can be really great for breakfast or as a post workout snack. With the smart carbs (oatmeal and bananas) being the main ingredients, this does make for an optimal post workout snack. However, if you’re just getting into the habit of eating breakfast and eating more whole grains, then don’t worry about when you eat these. Just eat them because they’re delicious and a great source of fiber.

I like to make these to have on hand during my busy weeks. I eat them more often for breakfast as I’m running out the door versus after a workout. My boyfriend is better at taking his time to eat breakfast before leaving the house, so he’ll warm them up and add some honey and butter on top. #jealous.

Get the recipe here. It’s quick and easy!

Likely you’ll have most of the ingredients on hand. Now you have something to do with those ripe bananas.

      Awesome and thank you! I love oatmeal. I use them in overnight oats too that I can quickly grab when I’m heading out the door.
