In the search for healthy and protein options for desserts or snacks, I discover the banana and chocolate muffins. You will think that there is not much distinction with the rest of the fitness cupcake recipes that we find on the Internet, but in reality it is the most protein alternative that you are going to achieve. It is also a perfect snack for children and adults. Introduce it to your healthy and varied diet, without fear of increasing your carbohydrate intake too much.
Why flourless muffins?
By eliminating the presence of flours, the carbohydrate value is considerably reduced; we will only get carbohydrates from the banana. With just over 3 ingredients you can get some very nutritious and quick muffins to make. The option of cooking can be microwaved (for 1.5 minutes) or baked for 10 minutes. Personally, I like them better when I make them in the oven (it may be romantic in the kitchen), but if you have little time, the microwave oven will be quite good too.
It is an ideal snack for after training or to take to work. And, in case you don't like bananas, you can substitute them for roasted apples or carrots. You have no excuse to eat healthy your favorite sweets. Also, who doesn't like a chocolate cupcake?
Ingredients
- 1 small banana
- 1 egg
- 1 tablespoon of 100% cocoa powder, without sweeteners
- Cinnamon to taste
- 1 ounce of 90% cocoa
- 1 pinch of baking soda or yeast
Preparation
With the help of a fork, flatten the banana onto a plate to make a paste.
In a bowl, add the egg, cocoa, powder and cinnamon. With the help of a mixer, we get a homogeneous paste. Add the mashed banana and yeast, and beat again perfectly.
Pour the mixture over the cupcake molds. Put them in the oven for about 10-15 minutes, at 200 degrees. Make sure they don't burn.
