# What You'll Need:

→ Wet Ingredients

01 - 3 ripe bananas, mashed
02 - 2 large eggs
03 - ⅓ cup white sugar
04 - ¾ cup sour cream

→ Dry Ingredients

05 - 2 cups oat flour (blend oats until fine)

09 - ½ teaspoon salt
10 - 1 ½ cups semi-sweet chocolate chips (plus extra for topping)

# Steps to Follow:

01 - Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a muffin tin with wrappers or lightly grease it.

03 - Add oat flour, baking powder, protein powder (if using), baking soda, and salt to the wet mixture. Stir until a smooth batter forms.
04 - Fold in the chocolate chips, reserving some for topping if desired.
05 - Scoop the batter into the prepared muffin tin, filling each cup about ¾ full. Add a few extra chocolate chips on top of each muffin, if desired.
06 - Bake mini muffins for 10 minutes, or standard muffins for 18–20 minutes, until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
07 - Allow the muffins to cool in the tin for 10 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely. Enjoy!

# Additional Notes:

01 - You can make 12–16 regular-sized muffins by baking at 350°F (175°C) for 18–22 minutes.
02 - Adding protein powder is optional and can be omitted based on preference.
