Banana Protein Muffins
"I thought this was a very good recipe. I couldn't tell there was no sugar in the muffins. When I made this recipe I used the 4 tablespoons of the protein powder. I got this recipe from Obesity Help. It was posted by thekingskid."

It's not great but it has a good texture to it. I changed the recipe the second time around to use more fruit and give it a sweeter flavor.<br/><br/> I increased the Splenda to .5 cup and used 1.5 cups of dried mixed fruit bits instead of nuts. <br/>I tried pumpkin pie spice instead of the cinnamon, and added a tablespoon of homemade vanilla extract. The dense wheat bread has a good spring to it and held up well in some fancy muffin pans, and the spiced bread makes a good compliment to the super sweet fruit bits. I calculated these at 130 calories and 7 grams of protein. -
this recipe is great :) my boyfriend is a bodybuilder and since its hard to make him food/snacks that are healthy, i went on a hunt to find the perfect thing to make him. I've made him these the past 3 years, twice a year, valentines day and christmas. he absolutely loves them!! i use the 4 scoops of whey protein also..and they are a great pre-workout/post-workout snack! -
Just finished baking these DELICIOUS healthy muffins! I made a few adjustments, used whole wheat flour, Lite Silk instead of milk, teaspoon of vanilla extract, and one scoop each of my banana creme and vanilla protein powder. Otherwise, wonderful recipe! My mix made 18 muffins. I used those paper muffin sleeves, which stuck to the muffins, so I sprayed the last batch with Pam and hope they come off a bit cleaner! I am so glad to have found this recipe!!! -
These were pretty good, health value considered. I halved the recipe, and got 8 muffins. I used sugar instead of splenda, chocolate chips instead of nuts, and a little more cinnamon then called for. I used the new robin hood nutri flour for the flour for some fibre. -
I made 36 muffins, did the first batch and liked them so I made 2 more batches. I did use 1/4 c regular sugar as these are for a "hardgainer" who is trying to put on weight. He has already eaten 3. I also used whole milk. I used chocolate protein powder for the last batch (choco-banana muffins) and they look bad but taste ok. These are pretty moist muffins. I like that. thanks

<p>Square Meals Make Round People - Author Unknown <br /><br />Do It With Love---It Will Taste Better - Author Unknown <br /><br />I joined zaar in 2002 but I really didn't use it much on until 2006 after my computer crashed and I lost all my unsaved recipes. Now I post all recipes I've tried or would like to try. I'm actually making it my goal to try almost all the recipes I've posted as soon as I can. I love food and I love to eat and try different recipes. My favorite course is dessert. I love sweets! This leads me to that I did have Gastric Bypass surgery on July 25th 2008. On that note I love baking and cooking a priceless gift passed down from my grammy who I dearly loved and miss deeply. My grammy passed away 1/15/07. She was a wonderful cook and baker and taught me many things and the most valueable things was how to be a wonderful cook and baker like her. I really enjoy searching for new recipes especially here on Zaar. I'm always finding and adding to my cookbook new and exciting recipes. I also enjoy posting recipes here on Zaar as well. I really love collecting different cookbooks. I have over a 100 and growing! I collect mostly Taste Of Home & community cookbooks. The minute I get a cookbook home I sit down and I read my cookbooks from front to back like novels. I work for the Elmira City School District and YWCA. I'm raising my 8 yrs old newphew. I'm a part time college student studing Early Childhood Education, but taking time off and hoping to return soon. I live in Elmira, New York where famous writer Mark Twain did some of his writing and he once lived. I have 1 cats Samantha and 1 dog our newest member MOO MOO (my nieces dog) who are my children as I do not have any human children of my own. I lost four of my very dear children (kitty's) Callie June 2007, Miss Kitty in March 2010, my dog Angel in December 2010, and my other cat Chase in September 2011. I'm recently married on August 12th 2010. I love spending time with my niece 9 yrs old and my newphews 7 & 8 yrs old. I enjoy couponing and trading coupons. I love the internet as there's so much to look at online even though you know where I spend most of my time! I enjoy going to yard sales and estate sales every spring - fall. I love gardening and have many different pretty flowers.</p>
