3-Ingredient Healthy Muffins That Keep You Full

These muffins have three ingredients, take about five minutes to throw together, and come in at one Weight Watchers point each. I make them on repeat, not because I'm trying to be impressive in the kitchen, but because they work. They travel well, they fill you up, and there is no guilt spiral after eating two.

If you have ripe bananas sitting on your counter right now, you have most of what you need.

What You Need

Makes 12 muffins

• 3 large ripe bananas

• 3 eggs, beaten

• 1 cup Aldi Power Cake high protein baking mix

That is the whole list. The riper the bananas, the sweeter the muffin, so do not throw those spotted ones out.

Optional add-ins if you want to mix it up:

• Blueberries or raspberries

• Lily's chocolate chips

• A tablespoon of cocoa powder for a chocolate version

How to Make Them

1. Preheat your oven to 350 degrees. Spray a standard muffin tin with cooking spray.

2. Mash the bananas in a large bowl until smooth. A fork works fine, no fancy tools needed.

3. Beat the eggs and mix them into the bananas until combined.

4. Stir in the baking mix until the batter comes together. It will be thicker than a standard muffin batter. That is normal.

5. Spoon the batter evenly into 12 muffin cups.

6. Bake for 22 to 25 minutes, until the tops look dry and are just starting to turn golden brown.

7. Cool before removing from the tin. They will be dense coming out of the oven, which is by design. That density is what keeps you full.

A Note on the Baking Mix

I use the Aldi Power Cake mix because it is cheaper than Kodiak and does the same job. Any high protein pancake or baking mix works here, so use what you have or what is on sale. The Aldi version just happens to be the best value I have found consistently.

Why These Are Worth Making

Three ingredients. One bowl. No mixer. Twelve muffins that last all week in the fridge or three months in the freezer.

I pack these for road trips, grab them before workouts, and eat them with coffee on weekday mornings when I have zero time. They are not a dessert muffin. They are a practical, filling snack that happens to be healthy, and that combination is harder to find than it should be.

One Weight Watchers point each if you are tracking. Worth making even if you are not.

Storage

Refrigerate in a sealed container for up to one week. Freeze for up to three months. Reheat from frozen in the microwave for about 30 seconds.
