INSTRUCTIONS

1. Preheat oven to 350F
2. Line a muffin pan with cupcake liners
3. Place the coconut oil, eggs, honey, vanilla and apple cider vinegar in a bowl and beat with a mixer on high until well combined
4. In a separate bowl stir together the coconut flour, almond flour, baking soda and salt, then pour in with the wet ingredients and beat again on high
5. In another bowl mash the bananas together with the protein powder and water until a mush is formed, combine with the other ingredients and beat on medium until well combined
6. Bake for approx. 20-25 minutes. You can check by inserting a toothpick into the muffins. When it comes out clean they’re ready.
7. Prepare the frosting by combining all ingredients in a food processor and blending until smooth. If the frosting is a little runny just place it in the fridge for a few minutes to harden up.
8. Once the muffins have cooled completely you can frost them.
