4. In a separate bowl, beat 3 large egg whites until frothy using a whisk or fork.
5. Stir in 2 mashed ripe bananas (about 1 cup), ¼ cup unsweetened applesauce, ½ cup chopped nuts (optional), and ½ cup milk (dairy or non-dairy).
6. Gently fold the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients until just combined. Do not overmix.
7. Add 4 tablespoons protein powder and mix until evenly distributed.
8. Spoon batter evenly into the prepared muffin cups, filling each about ¾ full.
