If you’ve ever bitten into a so-called “healthy muffin” only to wonder why it tastes like cardboard disguised as breakfast… you’re not alone.

But THESE muffins? These are different.

They’re soft, naturally sweet, high in protein, and so satisfying you’ll forget they’re good for you. Whether you need a grab-and-go breakfast, a gym-bag snack, or a clean treat that keeps your goals on track, these High-Protein Health Muffins are about to become your weekly staple.

⭐ Why These Muffins Are Everything

Let’s be real: most muffins are cupcakes pretending to be healthy. Sugar-loaded, low protein, and leave you hungry an hour later.

Instead, these beauties deliver:

✨ A legit protein boost (thanks to clean, unflavoured protein powder)

✨ Healthy fats to keep you full

✨ Natural sweetness from banana OR apple purée

✨ No refined sugar

✨ Ridiculously good flavour

✨ One-bowl, no-fuss prep

They’re proof you can nourish your body without sacrificing taste — or spending your entire Sunday meal-prepping.

🍌🍏 Choose Your Flavour Adventure

Feeling fruity and cozy? Go with apple purée.

Want a richer, sweeter vibe? Mashed banana all the way.

There are no wrong answers here.

🧁 The Recipe: High-Protein Health Muffins

Ingredients

2 scoops unsweetened, unflavoured protein powder
½ cup almond flour
1 tsp baking powder
1 cup mashed banana or apple purée
½ cup peanut butter (if you want to cut the fat, swap out the peanut butter with 52g PB2 powder and mix with enough water to a peanut butter consistency and to equal about a half cup).
1/4 cup dark chocolate bits

Instructions

Preheat your oven to 180°C (350°F) and line a muffin tray.
In a mixing bowl, combine the protein powder, almond flour, and baking powder.
Add your mashed fruit of choice and stir until smooth.
Fold in your peanut butter and chocolate bits
Scoop the batter into muffin cups.
Bake for 15–20 minutes, or until golden and set in the centre.
Try not to eat them all while they’re still warm. (Or do. I won’t judge.)
