Ripe bananas create a tender base to these heavenly muffins, while a swirl of espresso adds just the right kick. But the real star is the Just One Chocolate Peanut Butter Protein Powder, which is the perfect egg replacer, adds a healthy dose of plant protein, and infuses the batter with deep chocolate-peanut butter goodness.
What you need:
1⅔ cups all-purpose flour
2 teaspoons baking powder
¼ teaspoon baking soda
½ teaspoon salt
4 ripe bananas
⅔ cups sugar
⅓ cup vegetable oil
2 teaspoons vanilla extract
5 tablespoons Just One Chocolate Peanut Butter Plant Protein Powder
5 tablespoons almond milk
1½ cups vegan chocolate chips
1 tablespoon plus 1 teaspoon espresso powder
1 tablespoon unsweetened cocoa powder
What you do:
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Line a 12-cup muffin tin with liners.
- In a medium bowl, combine flour, baking powder, baking soda and salt. Set aside.
- In a large bowl, mash bananas with a fork. Add sugar, oil, vanilla, Just One protein powder, and almond milk. Mix to combine. Add flour mixture and chocolate chips, and mix until just combined.
- Scoop out 1½ cups of batter and add to a small bowl. Add espresso powder and cocoa powder, and mix until combined.
- Spoon batter from large bowl evenly into prepared muffin tins, filling each cup about ½ full. Create a small well in middle of each cup using the back of a spoon. Spoon in espresso batter evenly into each cup, then swirl with a knife or toothpick.
- Bake 25 to 30 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in middle comes out clean.
