Blueberry Banana Power Muffins
These Blueberry Banana Power Muffins are everything you could ever want in a blueberry protein muffin! They’re nearly fat free, less than 100 calories and packed with over 7 grams of protein and so much deliciousness. You won’t miss all the calories and fat, trust me!
Not too long ago, I shared my Cranberry Apple Muscle Muffins with you. They were a HUGE hit with my family and you guys too! I love muffins and that recipe is one of my favorites. Unfortunately, cranberries aren’t available all year long. Since that recipe is so awesome, I decided we needed a new type of muffin from that base recipe. And that was the making of today’s incredibly satisfying, flavor-exploding Blueberry Banana Power Muffins!
What’s so great about these Blueberry Protein Muffins?
There’s so much awesomeness (is that even a word?) about these muffins. First– they’re flourless and made with oats. This also makes them easily gluten free – just make sure your oats are certified gluten free. They also contain no butter or oil, use a ripe banana for sweetener, have protein rich cottage cheese, and are packed with antioxidant-rich blueberries.
And they are virtually fat free AND only 93 calories each. Pretty sweet, huh?
You’re probably thinking – all that “health” talk probably makes these taste like health food, right?! Wrong. They taste soft, fluffy and light; exploding with juicy blueberries. You’re going to love them! What are you waiting for? Let your bananas brown, pick up some blueberries, and get to it!
How to make Blueberry Protein Muffins:
The recipe uses very familiar, easy ingredients. No mixer required, taking less than 30 minutes start to finish, they freeze well, taste phenomenal, low calories, minimal fat, no added sugar, are moist, soft, tender, skinny perfection. I could really go on and on, but you should really get to baking now!

I always feel more powerful after a delicious breakfast. Or snack. Or dessert. Whenever these are eaten, I guarantee you they’ll be satisfying! Love!
Mmm…these muffins look delicious! Can I omit the protein powder?
Definitely! That should work just fine. Enjoy!
Your muffins are positively STUFFED with blueberries — the absolute best part of a blueberry muffin! Love the oats instead of regular flour in your recipe too… I need this to fuel my workouts!
Love how full of blueberries these muffins are! Saving this for my healthier morning recipes!
Blueberry and banana just belong together! I can’t wait to try these muffins!
I love blueberries in muffins, and these sound tasty with the oats and cinnamon in there too.
can i omit the cottage cheese or use something non diary
Hi! If I were to try and make this recipe nondairy, I would use a nondairy form of yogurt to replace the cottage cheese. I haven’t tried it, but that should work just fine. Enjoy!
I’m going to make these in the morning but i bought a frozen bag of fruit medley-blueberries,blackberries, raspberries and half strawberries. Will it work instead of banana?
The berries cannot replace the banana. The mashed banana acts to replace oil and sugar, giving the muffins moisture and sweetness.
If I added some lemon juice and zest to give it a lemony flavor, would that negatively affect the recipe?
No, I don’t think so. Sounds delicious!
I enjoyed these a lot!! Would HIGHLY recommend upping the stevia, probably doubling or tripling it If you’re used to sweeter muffins. My first batch was too un-sweet for me but my second batch I threw some more stevia in before baking- that did the trick!! Delish. Also good if you smear some PB on them.
Thanks for the recipe!!!
So glad you enjoyed! Thanks for your comment. The sweetness also may have something to do with the variety of protein powder used. 🙂
Hi,
I would love to try this recipe with a few twists to accolade what I have, so I was wondering if you could help with a couple of questions:
– Thoughts on using frozen berries ? Would you recommend thawing them before?
– If I do t want to use protein powder, is it best to omit or replace with the same amount of flour ?
– I always have a hard time blending oats as my blender isn’t the best… do you blend until you can’t see the oats at all or ?
Thank you so much!
I think frozen berries would work fine. Do not thaw before using. Replace protein with the same amount regular flour (although, I have not tried this). Blend until the oats are flour-like or you can just buy oat flour. You might want to try this recipe, since you don’t have protein powder – https://www.kimscravings.com/healthy-blueberry-banana-muffins/
