Banana Bread Protein Muffins Recipe

Brown Bananas Fit Tip
Banana Bread Protein Muffins Recipe: Usually when fruits turn brown and get mushy…they go straight in the trash. With one exception: BANANAS!;
 
When the bananas in my house turn brown, it means one thing: BANANA BREAD (a clean, healthy version of course)! I always say… “The browner the banana, the better the bread!”
 
So last night I made use of my uber-ripe bananas and made Banana Bread Protein Muffins! To boost the protein I added whey protein powder to the recipe…which makes the muffins a little more “spongy” than a regular muffin. But spongy or not, they tasted amazing! Not to mention these little low-cal snacks are packed with protein compared to most muffins!
 
 
Let’s compare:

I don’t know about you…but I’d choose the Protein Muffins any day! You could eat 4 of them and still be consuming less calories & carbs than one Betty Crocker muffin!
