Yield:
1 dozen muffins

Ingredients

  • 1 ⅓ cups gluten-free baking mix (such as Arrowhead Mills®)

  • 1 scoop vanilla protein powder (Optional)

  • 1 ¼ teaspoons baking soda

  • 1 teaspoon cacao powder (Optional)

  • ½ teaspoon coarse salt

  • 3 overripe bananas, mashed

  • ½ cup turbinado sugar (such as Sugar in the Raw®)

  • 6 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted

  • 1 ½ egg

  • ¾ cup semisweet chocolate chips

  • ½ cup sliced almonds

Directions

  1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Line a muffin tin with liners.

  2. Mix gluten-free flour, protein powder, baking soda, cacao powder, and salt in a large bowl.

  3. Place mashed bananas, turbinado sugar, melted butter, and egg in the bowl of an electric mixer fitted with a paddle attachment; beat on medium speed until well-blended and airy. Add flour mixture; mix until batter is evenly moistened. Stir in chocolate chips and sliced almonds.

  4. Scoop the batter into the muffin tin, filling each liner 2/3 of the way full.

  5. Bake in the preheated oven until a toothpick inserted into the center of a muffin comes out clean, 25 to 30 minutes. Let muffins cool on wire rack before serving, about 10 minutes.

Cook's Note:

If the batter is too thick, thin it with a little coconut milk or creamer.
