    Hey guys! This recipe may not be new to some of you, but when I originally wrote it back in March or 2016, I took the photos on my phone. The recipe came to be in a traditional Pantry Grubs style (my old handle and website name), in that I had some overripe bananas in the fridge, and I didn't want to waste them by throwing them away. I also didn't want to make a traditional banana bread and instead wanted to make something full of protein that was a little healthier than your average muffin. Boom, the first time I made these Banana Nut & Oat Breakfast Muffins they were a success. Easy, tasty and healthy. We make them all the time now, and a couple friends who enjoy the recipe make them too. 🙂 Love to spread the love!

    A couple of weeks ago, Chamere and I reshot this to give you guys some really gorgeous photos of these muffins! We bring you, a new and improved recipe for Banana Nut & Oat Breakfast Muffins! 

    Ingredients:

    • Ripe bananas 
    • Coconut oil
    • Vanilla extract
    • Peanut butter
    • Honey
    • Protein powder of choice 
    • Ground cinnamon
    • Salt
    • Oats
    • Chocolate chips 
    • Nuts of choice (we used peanuts)
    overhead ingredients for banana nut and oat breakfast muffins

    Here's How To Make Banana Oat Muffins:

    Preheat the oven to 400 degrees Farenheit and grease a muffin tin.

    Mash up the ripe bananas in a large bowl. You can use a fork. You just want to be able to mix all of the ingredients together easily and this creates a nice base.

    Add in the melted coconut oil and vanilla extract, then the honey and peanut butter and mix until smooth.

    Let cool for about 5-10 minutes then remove from pan and enjoy!! I store them in an airtight container on the counter or fridge for up to a week.

      I'm so glad I decided to make these!! This is an easy recipe and you can swap out sugars/chips/protein powder based on what you have! I ended using half honey, half sucralose and Isopure fudge brownie whey protein powder. My whole family loved these and felt like they were having dessert while also getting in some fruit and oats. You can taste all the different flavors even if you choose a chocolate protein base and I added a little nutmeg for more spice. I'm glad I let them cool completely as they are very moist and need to set. I wanted to freeze them but I believe the moisture would mess them up. I will make a triple batter and just freeze the batter for defrosting and baking later.
