What I love about Triple Chocolate GF Banana Muffins
I’ve been posting about these Triple Chocolate GF Banana Protein Muffins on my stories for the past few weeks and so many of you have been asking for the recipe! These muffins really are so good for so many reasons. I’m glad that I can finally share them with you! They make a great breakfast-on-the-go, mid-day snack or addition to lunch. They could even pass for a more than filling dessert.
Some of the things that I love about these muffins is that they are higher in protein, lower in carbs and they have a delicious, moist and even fudgey texture. They’re also SO easy to make and come together in just one bowl. In less than 10 minutes they’re into to the oven. I’ve already had so many good reports from friends who have made them and loved them so I hope you will love them too! They’re definitely on our weekly rotation right now.
What you will need to make Triple Chocolate GF Banana Protein Muffins
Here’s a list of ingredients that you will need:
Bananas - You will need 3 large bananas for this recipe. I like to use bananas that are ripe but not overly ripe.
Xylitol - Xylitol is a great, sugar-free alternative. You could also use erythritol, monk fruit, coconut sugar or regular sugar instead.
Almond flour - Almond flour is my favourite to use for baking because it’s naturally higher in protein and healthy fats and lower in carbs. I haven’t tested this recipe using any other flours, so do so at your own risk. Haha!
Protein powder - We are using chocolate protein powder to level up the chocolate flavour in these muffins. You can use any kind of protein powder, but if you want them extra chocolatey then definitely go for chocolate-flavoured as it will have added cocoa powder.
Chocolate chunks - I like to top them with a few chocolate chips or chunks for extra chocolatey goodness, but it’s not necessary.
You will also need a few basics:
Eggs x2
Vanilla extract
Baking soda
Baking powder
Salt
