In my opinion, these muffins are the ‘perfect’ snack…They have a great balance of protein and fiber to keep you satisfied, and just enough complex carbohydrates from the banana for energy that lasts…(and all with a side of chocolate!) They are moist and delicious, and what’s even better is that they are low in calories, so you could have 2 muffins for only 150 calories! (See what I mean~ this may be the perfect snack!) These muffins would also make a wonderful quick breakfast, with a side of yogurt or eggs! My favorite way to eat them is warmed in the microwave for a few seconds with some ‘light’ butter on each half! Kids are sure to love these, and who knows… you just might ‘feel’ like a kid again when you’re biting into one!
I cut this recipe down to make 6 muffins, because when I bake it is only for two people, however you could always double the recipe, and freeze any leftovers!

Tes said:
These were SOOO good!! I didn’t have any protein powder but really wanted to try the recipe out- it appealed to me because it didn’t include flour! I just used the wheatbran, and instead of the protein powder added some ground quick oats and cottage cheese. SO. GOOD. Thank you so much for another fabulous recipe! :D

Hey! I saw these on a blog and these sound delicious! I love bananas and especially when baking (they get even sweeter YUM), and I’m going to use white chocolate chips since I don’t have any other on hand. But I’m not complaining ;) I also was thinking of adding sesame seeds because I like some crunch but for some reason I usually don’t like nuts in baked good. Anyway, I was wondering are these mini muffins or just regular muffins? Thanks! Have a great day :D

Could I use oats instead of wheatbran or flour?
Morgan said:
What could you sub for protein powder? Another type of flower?
Delia said:
What is the consisitancy of the batter suppose to be? I was so excited to try these but mine was very liquidy and the bran separated from the liquid when it baked. =\
Dashing Dish said:
Hi Delia! It should work… Did u try to bake them?
Delia said:
Haha I did! I used liquid egg whites though, do you think that’d have anything to do with it?
Dashing Dish said:
no, shouldnt be a problem…how did they turn out?
Delia said:
Also the egg whites didn’t need to be whipped or anything did they?
Delia said:
What should the batter consistency be on these? Mine were extremely liquidy and separated when it was baking. Help please! =\
Katie Farrell said:

Katie Farrell said:

Katie Farrell said:
