These protein banana nut muffins are the perfect pre-workout snack or breakfast! With the magic of TVP, they end up at 18% protein without protein powder!
Mix 2 tablespoons of flax seeds with 6 tablespoons of water. Let sit for at least 5 minutes (This makes flax “egg” goo).
Either mash the bananas by hand or in a food processor.
In a large bowl, mix together the mashed bananas, brown sugar, milk, vanilla, and flax “egg” goo.
In a separate bowl, whisk together all of the dry ingredients - flour, cinnamon, salt, baking soda, baking powder. Once well combined, stir in (dry) TVP very well.
Add dry ingredients slowly to wet ingredients and combine.
Add chocolate chips and walnuts.
Evenly distribute the batter across all 12 (lined) muffin cup things on your muffin tray.
Bake for 12 - 16 minutes. They will come out a little gooey (if you cook too long it will dry out and the chocolate chips will not be gooey anymore); let sit for about 15 - 30 minutes and they will set up.
