Ingredients

Units Scale
  • 2 1/2 cups (280g) almond flour (do not pack it)
  • 1/2 cup (60g) vanilla whey protein powder (I recommend Clean Simple Eats vanilla whey protein)
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1 cup (220g) mashed ripe bananas (2-3 bananas)
  • 1/3 cup almond milk
  • 1/2 cup plain Greek yogurt (I used fat-free but any plain kind is fine)
  • 2 eggs
  • 1 tablespoon coconut oil, melted
  • 1/4 cup maple syrup
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 325 degrees.
  2. Line a muffin pan with parchment paper liners and spray the liners with non-stick spray
  3. Stir all dry ingredients together in a mixing bowl
  4. In a separate bowl mix together bananas, almond milk, yogurt, eggs, vanilla, melted coconut oil, and maple syrup. Stir until combined.
  5. Pour wet ingredients into dry and slowly fold together. Do not over mix. Divide into prepared muffin pan.
  6. Bake for 25 minutes or until a toothpick inserted comes out clean. (If it starts to get too brown on top, cover loosely with foil while it continues to bake)

Notes

This recipe was originally published in 2015, but I updated this recipe in 2025 to improve the taste and texture. These are now a little higher in calories, but the taste and texture is worth it!
