Superfoods Recipe: Healthy Banana Protein Muffins

One of our favorite ways to spend a weekend morning (okay fine, any morning!) is baking up some healthy goodies. Not only do we these batch recipes provide healthy brunch options, but we use leftovers for quick breakfasts all week long!

While we’re never opposed to a tasty treat, we love adding superfoods to our baked goods, so we know we’re packing a nutritional punch. Even better? Adding protein to help us power through the day!

Here’s one of our go-to easy recipes: healthy banana protein muffins! They’re flourless, sugar-free, and contain about 6 grams of protein per muffin. A perfect addition to your brunch plate, or breakfast on the go!
