banana oat muffins

better than the banana muffin recipe you already like

I feel like everyone has a banana muffin recipe that they know and love but I’ve got to break it to you, this one’s better. these banana oat muffins are our household favorite. they’re a healthier muffin recipe made with no refined sugar, extra fiber, and added protein. I love to meal prep them for quick and easy pre-workout fuel, breakfasts, and snacks. they’re moist, fluffy, chocolatey, cinnamony, and actually filling because they’re not just sugar and flour. so many muffin recipes are just sugary cupcakes in disguise, but these are actually healthy and so yummy.
