  • Makes15 servings
  • Prep Time5 minutes
  • Cook Time15 minutes
  • 3 medium-to-large bananas
  • 1 cup unsweetened vanilla almond or coconut milk
  • 2 tbs. chia seeds
  • 4 scoops Life Time vanilla grass-fed whey protein powder
  • 1 tbs. vanilla extract
  • 1 tbs. cinnamon
  • 1 zucchini, chopped
  • 1/2 cup chopped pecans
  • 1 cup gluten-free oats
  • Optional toppings: raisins, strawberries, blueberries, or chocolate chips
STEP 1
Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F.
STEP 2
In a blender, combine the bananas, nut milk, chia seeds, whey protein powder, vanilla extract, cinnamon, and zucchini. Once blended, the mixture should be the consistency of cake batter.
STEP 3
Hand mix the pecans and oats into the batter — do not blend.
STEP 4
Line a muffin tin with muffin liners. The muffins will come out very moist, so this step is important!
STEP 5
Pour the batter into each of the muffin tins until they’re about 80 percent full. Sprinkle on any optional desired toppings.
STEP 6
Bake for 12 to 15 minutes, or until golden brown. Enjoy immediately, store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for three to four days, or freeze for later.
