Protein Banana Muffins

February 23, 2018 by AMYLEEACTIVE Leave a Comment

The perfect sweet and healthy protein snack for meal prep to have on the go! It’s full of protein, fibre and complex carbs for slow energy release, keeping you satisfied and fuelled for busy days ahead.

This recipe is incredibly versatile and forgiving, it can be made vegan – simply swap the egg whites for chia or flax eggs, greek yoghurt for coconut yoghurt, and use a vegan protein powder! It’s also easy and delicious, using nourishing and skin-loving ingredients such as almond meal and cinnamon, which has been proven to help lower blood sugar.
