Ingredients
2 large ripe bananas, mashed
2 large eggs
1/4 cup unsweetened applesauce
1/4 cup honey
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 1/2 cups rolled oats
1/2 cup vanilla protein powder
1 teaspoon baking powder
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/2 cup plain Greek yogurt
Instructions
Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a 12-cup muffin tin with paper liners or lightly grease it.
In a large bowl, mash the ripe bananas with a fork until smooth.
Add the eggs, unsweetened applesauce, honey, and vanilla extract to the mashed bananas. Whisk together until well combined.
In a separate bowl, combine the rolled oats, vanilla protein powder, baking powder, baking soda, ground cinnamon, and salt. Stir to mix evenly.
Add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients and stir until just combined.
Fold in the plain Greek yogurt until the batter is smooth and uniform.
Divide the batter evenly among the 12 muffin cups, filling each about 3/4 full.
Bake in the preheated oven for 18-20 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of a muffin comes out clean.
Remove the muffins from the oven and allow them to cool in the tin for 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.
