These Easy 5-Minute Peanut Butter Banana Protein Muffins are a quick, healthy breakfast or snack made with simple ingredients like bananas, peanut butter, oats, and protein powder. Ready in under 25 minutes, they’re moist, tender, and packed with 12g of protein per muffin.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 large ripe bananas, mashed (about 1 cup)
  • 1/2 cup creamy peanut butter
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1/4 cup honey or maple syrup
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1/2 cup old-fashioned rolled oats
  • 1/2 cup protein powder (vanilla or unflavored)
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • Optional mix-ins: 1/4 cup dark chocolate chips, chopped nuts, or fresh blueberries

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line 8-9 cups of your muffin tin with paper liners or lightly grease them with cooking spray.
  2. In a large mixing bowl, mash the two ripe bananas with a fork until mostly smooth with a few small lumps.
  3. Add the peanut butter, eggs, honey (or maple syrup), and vanilla extract to the mashed bananas. Stir with a fork until well combined.
  4. Sprinkle the rolled oats, protein powder, baking soda, and salt over the wet mixture. Stir gently until just combined. If adding mix-ins, fold them in now.
  5. Divide the batter evenly among the prepared muffin cups, filling each about 3/4 full. Smooth the tops slightly with the back of a spoon.
  6. Bake for 15-18 minutes, until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean or with a few moist crumbs. The tops should be golden brown and spring back when lightly touched.
  7. Let the muffins cool in the tin for 5 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.
  8. Serve warm or at room temperature.

Notes

Don’t overmix the batter to avoid dense muffins. Use room temperature eggs for better texture. Check muffins at 15 minutes to prevent overbaking. For extra moisture, add a tablespoon of milk or yogurt if batter seems thick. Muffins taste even better the next day.
