These paleo protein banana muffins are made with almond flour and pea protein powder. They are moist, tender and taste delicious! This low carb banana protein muffin recipe is only sweetened with bananas (no sugar added) and is completely oil free, grain free, gluten free and dairy free.

Meal prepping is soooo not my thing!

But, I love snack prepping. Having a host of quick and easy paleo snacks in the fridge and freezer are a must for me.

My favorite things to prep include energy balls, protein bars, protein fudge and protein muffins.

These healthy banana protein muffins are one of my go-to recipes. They're easy to make, moist and only sweetened with bananas. Basically the perfect clean eating protein muffin recipe.

Recipe Highlights

These almond flour banana protein muffins are:

  • gluten free & grain free
  • dairy free & whey free
  • only sweetened with bananas - no added sugar
  • Paleo friendly
  • high in protein - made with pea protein powder

Here's what you need to make these low carb banana protein muffins:

  • ripe banana
  • eggs & egg whites

How To Make Protein Banana Muffins

These protein muffins are made in one bowl and baked in the oven for 25-30 minutes.

First, preheat your oven to 350 degrees F.  Then, in a large mixing bowl, mash banana.  Add in the remaining wet ingredients.  This includes: eggs, egg whites, almond milk and vanilla.

Next, add in the dry ingredients.  This includes: protein powder, almond flour, tapioca flour coconut flour, baking powder, cinnamon and salt.

Pour the batter into a lined muffin pan.  (I like using silicone muffin liners).

Lastly, bake the muffins at 350 degrees for 20-25 minutes, or until done.  Let them cool to room temperature on a wire cooling rack.

Storing Muffins

These muffins are best stored in the fridge, but can be stored in the freezer as well.

Place the muffins in an air-tight container or baggie for up to a week in the fridge or one month in the freezer.

    Can I use a different type of flour than paleo mix? Like can I just use cassava?

      Hi! I haven't tried any substitutions but cassava flour may work. If you try, let me know how it turns out.

      Hi! I've never baked with egg white protein powder so I can't say whether it would work. If you give it a try, I'd love to know the results.
