Ingredients:
1 large egg
180 grams (⅔ cup) Greek yogurt
1 ripe banana (about 100 grams or 3.5 oz.)
80 ml (⅓ cup) sugar-free syrup
150 grams (1 ½ cup) oat flour, or preferred flour
50 grams (½ cup) protein powder
1 tsp vanilla extract
2 tsp baking powder
⅙ tsp salt
45 to 80 ml (3 tbsp to ⅓ cup) preferred milk
50 grams (¼ cup) Lily's Stevia-sweetened chocolate chips
Instructions:
Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a muffin tin with 10 to 12 liners.
Mix the wet ingredients: In a large bowl, mash the ripe banana, then whisk in the egg, Greek yogurt, sugar-free syrup, and vanilla extract until well combined.
Combine the dry ingredients: In a separate bowl, mix the oat flour, protein powder, baking powder, and salt.
Mix the batter: Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, stirring until smooth. If the batter is too thick, add 3 tablespoons to ⅓ cup of milk to reach a more fluid consistency.
Fold in the chocolate chips: Stir in the Lily's Stevia chocolate chips, reserving a few for topping if desired.
Bake: Spoon the batter evenly into the muffin liners. Bake for 18–20 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
Cool and enjoy: Allow the muffins to cool in the tin for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
