Servings: 12 muffins
Equipment
- 12-cup muffin pan
Ingredients
Dry Ingredients
- ¾ cup (67g) rolled oats (for the oat flour)
- ¾ cup (85g) white whole wheat flour
- ½ cup (55g) plant-based protein powder (vanilla or plain)
- 2 tbsp (20g) hemp seeds
- 1½ tsp (6g) baking powder
- ½ tsp (9g) baking soda
- ¾ tsp (4g) salt
- 1 tsp (3g) ground cinnamon
Wet Ingredients
- 3 very ripe bananas, mashed
- ½ cup (118mL) unsweetened soy milk
- ¼ cup (60g) plain soy yogurt
- 2 tbsp (30mL) maple syrup
- 1 tsp (5mL) vanilla extract
- 1 tbsp (8g) ground flaxseed (for flax egg)
- 2½ tbsp (37mL) water
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 375℉ (190℃). Line or lightly grease a 12-cup muffin pan.
- In a small bowl, stir together 1 tbsp ground flaxseed with 2½ tbsp water to make the flax egg. Set aside to thicken.
- Make the oat flour by adding the oats to a blender or food processor and pulse until it resembles a powdery, flour-like texture.
- Combine the dry ingredients: In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the oat flour, white whole wheat flour, protein powder, hemp seeds, baking powder, baking soda, salt, and cinnamon.
- Mix the wet ingredients: In a separate bowl combine the mashed bananas, soy milk, soy yogurt, maple syrup, vanilla extract, and flax egg.
- Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and stir gently until just combined. Let the batter rest for 10 minutes to allow the oats and protein powder to hydrate.
- Divide the batter evenly between the 12 muffin cups. (Optional topping: sprinkle a few oats on top prior to baking.)
- Bake at 375℉ (190℃) for 6 minutes, then reduce the oven temperature to 350℉ (176℃) and bake 10-12 minutes more until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
- Allow the muffins to cool in the pan for 5 minutes, then transfer to a cooling rack.
