Even though it is 29 Degrees in my condo (yes, you read that right) I am back at blogging and creating new recipes for you lovely DAMY Lovers! I’m not going to say that it wasn’t tortuously hot but I will say I have a tie for my favourite protein muffin ever! Who knew that baking in Sahara Desert heat I could come up with this amazing new protein muffin. I’m telling you, you have to make this. It’s fast and as I said, it’s a tie for deliciousness with the Lemon Strawberry Protein Muffin. It just feels like a huge treat. The muffin is dense and filling and the topping is crunchy and sweet. Amazing! Enjoy my Healthy Banana Walnut Crunch Muffins.

Side Note: I cut the oat flour in half and used almond meal. So, if you wanted to make these gluten free you could use just 1 cup of almond meal (or coconut meal). If you are looking for lower fat and more carbohydrates you can use one cup of oat flour. If you’re looking for how to make your own oat flour click here.
