Equipment

1 large cookie scoop
1 12-cup muffin tin
12 parchment paper muffin liners
1 mixing bowl
1 Rubber Spatula

Ingredients

2 medium ripe bananas
1 cup rolled oats
2 scoops protein powder of choice (100g)
⅓ cup peanut butter
½ cup semi-sweet chocolate chips (about 100g)
⅓ cup unsalted peanuts (or any nut of choice)
⅓ cup honey
1 tablespoon coconut oil, melted
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
½ teaspoon kosher salt

Instructions

Preheat the oven to 375 °F and line the muffin tin with muffin liners. Mash up the ripe bananas in a large bowl until well-mashed.
Add in 1 tablespoon of coconut oil and 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract, then ⅓ cup of honey, and ⅓ cup of peanut butter, and mix until smooth.
Add in 2 scoops of protein powder, 1 teaspoon of cinnamon, and ½ teaspoon of salt, and mix again.
Add in the 1 cup of rolled oats, ⅓ cup of peanuts, and most of the chocolate chips, and fold gently to combine with a rubber spatula. Allow the mixture to sit for 2-3 minutes to help the liquid absorb a bit into the oats. Spoon the mixture into your parchment-lined muffin tins. Garnish the top with the remaining chocolate chips.
Bake for 15-20 minutes until browned. Let cool for about 5 minutes then remove from the pan, and transfer to a wire rack to cool completely. Enjoy!
You can store these in an airtight container on the counter or fridge for up to a week. You can freeze these in freezer-safe storage bags for up to 3 months.

Notes

Use old-fashioned oats. Old-fashioned oats work best for this recipe, as they hold up better during baking and provide a nice texture.
Let the mixture sit. Once you mix together the oats, banana, peanut butter, honey, and any other add-ins, let the mixture sit for a few minutes, but not longer! This allows the oats to absorb the liquid and results in a better texture.
