Can I use whey protein?

I have not tested this recipe using whey protein powder, so cannot say for sure. However, from my experience whey bakes much differently than plant based protein powders, so probably won't work well for this recipe.

Are these muffins sweet and flavorful?

These muffins are not very sweet - just sweetened with bananas and any sweetener in the protein powder you use. Feel free to add a little honey or maple syrup to the batter if you wish. These banana protein muffins are also fairly plain, as that's what you get with a 5 ingredient muffin. To add more flavor, mix in a pinch of salt, some cinnamon, vanilla and a tablespoon of honey. You can also mix in chocolate chips, chopped nuts or dried fruit.
