Post Workout Nibbles

If you’re like me you’re starving by the time the workout is done!  Not the time to be making smoothies or yogurt parfaits or ham sandwiches!  To solve the fast, easy, quick problem, I often make snacks ahead of time so they’re ready for eating.  I recently made these protein banana muffins for some of my athletes & got rave reviews.  I hope you enjoy them too!

Flourless Protein Banana Muffins – Makes 12

• 3 large eggs
• 1/3 c low-fat milk
• 3 med ripe bananas
• ¼ c honey
• 1-3/4 c almond flour
• ½ c plain or vanilla protein powder (I substituted in non-fat milk powder)
• 1 t cinnamon
• ¾ t ground ginger
• ½ t baking soda
• ½ t baking powder
• ¼ t salt
• ½ c chopped dried cherries (I subbed in chocolate chips!)

Preheat oven to 350 degrees.  Mix all ingredients together until blended.  Divide batter among 12 standard-sized greased or paper-lined muffin cups.  Bake until set & toothpick inserted into center comes out nearly clean, about 22-25 minutes.  Let cool for a few minutes before unmolding & cooling completely on metal racks.  Chill for up to 5 days.  Can also be frozen.
