Equipment

Ingredients
  

  • 1½ cups protein pancake mix I used Kodiak Cakes Buttermilk Pancakes Mix.
  • ¾ cup almond flour
  • ¾ cup light brown sugar packed
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • ¼ teaspoon salt
  • ½ teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 2 ripe bananas
  • ⅓ cup avocado oil
  • 1 large egg room temperature
  • 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
  • ½ cup milk (oat, almond, whole, 2%)
  • 1 cup walnuts chopped

Instructions
 

  • Preheat your oven to 375° F. Grease or line the muffin tin cups and set it aside.
  • Whisk together the pancake mix, brown sugar, almond flour, baking powder, salt, and cinnamon in a large bowl. 
  • Mash the bananas in a medium-sized bowl until softened. Whisk the avocado oil, egg, milk, and vanilla extract together in a separate bowl. Pour over the bananas and whisk just until combined.
  • Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and mix only until combined. Do NOT over-mix. Fold in the walnuts.
  • Fill each muffin tin about ¾ the way full.
  • Bake for 20 to 25 minutes, until golden brown or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. Allow the muffins to cool before eating.

Notes

  • STORE: Store the muffins in an airtight container at room temperature for a few days or in the refrigerator for up to one week.
  • FREEZE: Transfer cooled muffins into an airtight container or freezer-safe zip-top bag. Freeze for up to 3 months. Thaw completely before eating.
  • REHEAT: Microwave one muffin for 15-20 seconds for that fresh-out-of-the-oven feel.
