White Chocolate Peanut Butter Banana muffins…and they are healthy with a bit of protein! These are the perfect, low calorie treat!
Strangely I used to not like bananas, I’ve always liked banana bread though :). I used to always make a chocolate chip banana bread loaf but now I like to have more fun with it and make a variety of flavors! Click to see my yummy low calorie banana muffins recipe here that I have made into an cake batter flavor as well :)!
If you love peanut butter, banana and chocolate this recipe is for you! I am a White Chocolate Reese’s lover but if you are not…which I know some people are not.. then use regular 🙂 It will be just as delicious!
What you will need for white chocolate peanut butter banana muffins:
- Whipped Peanut Butter
- Vanilla Protein Powder (I used Pescience)
- Baking soda and baking powder
- Brown Sugar Splenda Mix
- Unsweetened applesauce
- Vanilla extract
- 2 ripened bananas (mine were 194 grams)
- 1 whole egg
- Liquid egg whites
- Protein pancake mix (I used Krusteaz, you can also use a regular pancake mix, this is the flour replacement)
- Coconut flour
- 3 White Chocolate Reese’s Peanut Butter Cups (48 grams)
Start by mashing up your banana until there are no chunks! I used a KitchenAid mixer for this, you can use a handheld potato masher too, it works just as well just more work:) Then add in the whole egg and liquid add whites. Now add the brown sugar, vanilla, applesauce and peanut butter. Now you can add your dry ingredients, baking soda, baking powder, protein powder, pancake mix and coconut flour! Chop up the Reese’s cups and set aside. Line a cupcake tin and divide the batter into the 12 tins and top with the peanut butter cups! Bake at 350 degrees for 15 minutes!
Each muffin is 80 calories! (per 32 gram muffin)
Serve warmed plain or with more peanut butter!
