Luke Hines’ Banana Berry Post-Workout Muffins

Ingredients

4 ripe bananas

3 mashed, one cut into discs

4 large eggs

1/2 cup maple syrup

1/4 cup coconut oil, melted

1 cup vanilla plant-based protein powder

1/4 cup tapioca flour

2 tsp gluten-free baking powder

1 heaped cup frozen mixed berries

salt

Method

Step 1.

Preheat your oven to 180°C and line a large 6-hole muffin tin with paper cases.

Step 2.

Place the mashed banana in a large bowl, add the eggs and use a whisk to mash and combine well. Add the maple syrup and coconut oil before mixing with a spoon until incorporated. Next, mix in the protein powder, tapioca flour, baking powder and salt to form a thick, chunky batter. Lastly, carefully fold in most of the mixed berries, reserving a small handful.

Step 3.

Evenly pour the muffin batter into the tin, then gently press the reserved berries and a banana discs on top of each muffin. Bake for 20 to 30 minutes, or until the muffins have risen, golden brown on top and a toothpick inserted in the centre comes out mostly clean. Allow the muffins to cool in the tin for 10 minutes or so before carefully removing.

Step 4.

One muffin is for one serve, so eat it fresh out of the oven. Refrigerate the remaining muffins in an airtight container to enjoy for up to five days or freeze for up to three months.

1 tsp cinnamon

1 cup spelt flour

1 cup hemp seeds

1 tsp ground cinnamon

1 tsp baking soda

Step 3.
