These High Protein Crazy Banana Muffins are perfect for before school or before practice. Our kids just aren’t big breakfast eaters, but they will eat a muffin or two in the morning and they love to eat these before football, soccer or wrestling practice. They like my favorite banana bread with whipped honey butter, too, but these muffins have a lot of protein, so I try to pick that option.
High Protein Crazy Banana Muffins
It takes a lot of energy, strength & stamina to play these games… so I want to be sure that they are eating REAL food with a lot of protein. These muffins are just that.
They are high-protein and they have NO butter, sugar or milk.
Ingredients:
- 1/2 cup Peanut Butter (all natural)
- 4 mashed bananas (extra ripe)
- 1 cup uncooked oats
- 1 cup egg whites and 2 whole eggs
- 4 scoops pure vanilla protein powder or you can use Syntha-6 Edge, Vanilla Ice Cream (Mickey’s Favorite) or the Amazing Grass vanilla (I like this one b/c of the limited ingredients)
- 4 teaspoons baking powder
Directions:
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
- In a small bowl, hand- mix all ingredients together
- Place muffin liners in each holder of a 12 count muffin tray and then spray a light coat of a nonstick cooking spray.
- Fill each muffin tin around 2/3 of the way full, until you are out of batter.
- Place the tray in the center rack of the oven and allow to cook for 12 min.
Tips:
- Add chocolate chips to make them tastier for the kids
- Make mini muffins and they will be able to just pop them in & go. 😉
- Serve them warm and they are… oh so good!
Enjoy. These are delicious. I’ll warn you… if you eat one, you won’t be able to stop. Seriously. We made them at 9:00 pm and I’ve had four in the past hour. Looks like I may need to make another batch for the week. 😉

I’d love to make these for my toddler but I’m not keen on using protein powders with him. Do you think that ingredients is 100% necessary? Thanks!
Becky (Your Modern Family) says
Nope. 🙂 I’d do it without the protein powder (or you can use toddler formula- the “next step” formula. I’ve done that before for our toddlers. 🙂
Kristen says
Do you think adding 4 tablespoons of floor is necessary as a replacement for the protein powder? I’m just worried it will be “wet”.
Becky (Your Modern Family) says
I’d try it. Let me know what you see as the result.
Dana says
What is the exact measurement of the protein powder? I have another brand of protein powder and want to make sure “scoop” is the same. Thanks!
Sylvia says
I’d like to know the same!
Tee says
When you click on the link for the brand she uses, it has a picture of the label, which says 1 scoop = 33 grams 🙂

Juan says
How do you store these
Emily Smiley says
Hi! Can you confirm the amount of baking powder? Is 4 teaspoons correct for one batch?
Becky (Your Modern Family) says
That’s what we used, but you can cut it back to 1 tablespoon
Melanie says
Can I use 3 whole eggs instead of 1 cup of egg whites and 2 eggs?
Becky (Your Modern Family) says
Probably 🙂
Emily says
Made these last night and they are excellent. Two notes but my experience: 1. You must go heavy on your cupcake liners with your Pam spray or they will stick; 2. I had to cook mine for an extra five minutes because they were nowhere near done at the 12 minute mark.
Anna clark says
