Can I make this into muffins?

Yes and they’re no-bake muffins , too. Scoop the mixture into silicone muffin cups and freeze for 1–2 hours. Store in the fridge or freezer, and enjoy a cold banana bread protein treat anytime.

Can I use whole wheat flour?

You can. Whole wheat flour adds a more “bready” texture and a nuttier flavor. If you’re okay with gluten and prefer more fiber, it’s a solid swap. Use the same quantity as oat flour (¼ cup). Not into wheat? Stick with almond or coconut flour for a lower-carb option.

Can I eat this before or after workouts?

Yes, and it’s perfect for both. Pre-workout, it fuels you with clean carbs and quick-digesting protein. Post-workout, it supports muscle recovery without the sugar crash. Pair with a spoon of nut butter for longer energy if needed.
