Ingredients

Scale

Dry Ingredients

2 cups gluten free flour
1/2 tsp baking soda
1/2 tsp baking powder
1/2 tsp salt
1/4 cup Vital Proteins Matcha Collagen (or 1 tbsp matcha powder)
1/2 cup Truvia Baking Blend

Wet Ingredients

1/4 cup coconut oil (softened)
3 medium ripe bananas
1/3 cup dairy free Greek yogurt
1/2 cup applesauce
1 tsp vanilla extract

Add-ins

1/4 cup Bake Believe white chocolate chips

Instructions

Preheat and Prepare: Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C). Line a muffin tin with baking cups and spray them lightly with coconut oil or cooking spray to prevent sticking.
Mix Dry Ingredients: In a medium bowl, whisk together the gluten free flour, baking soda, baking powder, Vital Proteins Matcha Collagen (or matcha powder), and salt. Set this mixture aside.
Combine Wet Ingredients: In a large bowl, mash the ripe bananas and add the softened coconut oil, dairy-free Greek yogurt, applesauce, and vanilla extract. Stir until the mixture is well combined.
Incorporate Dry Ingredients: Add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture and stir gently until just blended, being careful not to overmix.
Fold in Chocolate Chips: Gently fold in the white chocolate chips to evenly distribute them throughout the batter.
Portion Batter: Using an ice cream scoop, evenly portion the batter into the prepared muffin tin, filling each cup about three-quarters full, making approximately 12 muffins.
Bake: Place the muffin tin in the preheated oven and bake at 425°F for 5 minutes. Then reduce the temperature to 350°F (175°C) and continue baking for 15-20 minutes until a toothpick inserted into the center of a muffin comes out clean.
Cool: Remove the muffins from the oven and allow them to cool in the pan on a cooling rack before serving.

Notes

You can substitute Vital Proteins Matcha Collagen with 1 tablespoon of regular matcha powder if needed.
If you prefer, use regular Greek yogurt instead of dairy-free, though this will affect the recipe’s dairy-free status.
Ensure bananas are ripe for natural sweetness and moisture.
Do not overmix the batter to keep muffins tender and light.
Store muffins in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days or freeze for longer storage.
