In reply to Harry. I don’t fear gluten either. I agree. Unfortunately wheat flour needs different amount of liquid so it wouldn’t be 1:1 substitute and I haven’t tested how much. You can try to wing it until proper muffin batter consistency.

As a vegan and a registered dietitian, I do not fear gluten like many lay people. As a matter of fact, vital wheat gluten is an important source of protein for some vegans.

If I substitute whole wheat pastry flour would I use the same amount?

In reply to Katrina Somers. Hi Katrina. No, that wouldn't work. But you can just make either my almond flour banana muffins or oat flour banana muffins and add 1 cup of chopped strawberries. Would be very similar muffins since these protein banana muffins contain oat flour and almond flour.

I can not handle protein powder, will these be ok if I just omit? Thank you 🙂

Hi Aubrey.
A few thoughts:
1. You should follow the recipe, especially with baking.
2. Soggy muffins because not correct flours are used and do not pulse strawberries.

I will remove comments about whole wheat flour. You should just follow the recipe card and there is also ingredients shot above. Next time it will work.:)

I just made these today. I thought I had almond flour on hand but I didn’t, so I used all oat flour. I also didn’t have plain whey protein powder, just vanilla and chocolate, so I used vanilla. I followed everything else to a T. Mine turned out kind of soggy, not puffed up like yours. I think the vanilla protein powder gave it a weird taste as well. should I have used more oat flour in place of almond? I want to try them again because I know they could be really good. I also pulsed my strawberries in a food processor. Do you think this made the outcome of the muffin for moist?
TIA

I had to come and thank you for this recipe! The muffins came out light, fluffy and oh so yummy! I changed it a little based on what I had in my pantry. I used a caramel fudge flavour protein powder which is quite sweet so I didn’t bother with the maple syrup. I added pumpkin and sunflower seeds (10g each) for texture and didn’t include the strawberries. Chocolate chips were minimal (5 mini chips on each muffin) and since the consistency of my batter looked quite dry I added 4tbs of full fat milk. 123 cal – 10g Carbs – 6.2g fat – 7.6g protein. I’ll double the seeds the next time because I love seeds but this is such a great base recipe to tweak. Thank you so so much!

I have ground flax seed, will that work instead of whole?
