BANANA PROTEIN MUFFINS

Sabeena Bubber • April 28, 2015

Hey everyone, I am so happy to share my blog this week with my cousin Rabani Bubber, she makes some mean muffins! So good.

Anyway, here is a picture of us together and the recipe will follow!

Muffins, who doesn’t love them? Unfortunately, the standard muffin doesn’t meet my 3 criteria for food: delicious, nutritious, and of course, gluten free. After a few attempts with different ingredients, I am finally satisfied with the final product and these muffins have exceeded my expectations. They pair great with coffee in the morning or can be that perfect on the go snack for kids. I used chocolate chips in this batch, but any sort of nut or dried berry could be substituted. Once baked, you can serve them with  peanut butter or Nutella for a little extra goodness!

 

Dry Ingredients:

1 2/3 cup gluten free oats

1 scoop gluten free vanilla protein powder

1 teaspoon cinnamon

2 teaspoons baking powder

Wet Ingredients:

½ cup unsweetened apple sauce

½ cup plain greek yogurt

1 teaspoon vanilla extract

4 tablespoons egg whites (approx. 2 large egg whites)

2 very ripe bananas (small-medium size)

 


Preheat oven to 400 degrees F.

Blend the oats in a food processor. It shouldn’t take long for them to be a rough flour texture.

Combine all dry ingredients in a large bowl. Set aside.

Combine all wet ingredients in a large bowl. I used a potato masher to mix the bananas in.

Combine both sets of ingredients and let sit for a few minutes to thicken.

Grease muffin tin (for 12 muffins). I would advise against using liners.

Fill muffin tin evenly with the mixture.

Bake for 15 minutes or until a toothpick comes out clean.

Remove from tin and let muffins cool for 10 minutes.

Enjoy!

 

Notes:

This recipe is very basic and can easily be modified to suit your needs. I haven’t tried any other versions yet, but I have a few ideas for my next batch. For example, chocolate protein powder could be used, a flavoured Greek yogurt could be added for extra sweetness or flavour, or dried fruits or nuts could be mixed in.

Fell Behind on a Payment? Don’t Panic—Here’s What to Do

By Sabeena Bubber • August 26, 2026
Missed a Credit Card or Line of Credit Payment? Here’s What to Do If you’ve missed a payment on a credit card or line of credit and you’re worried about how it might affect your credit—or your future mortgage—this is for you. First things first: 👉 If you currently have an overdue balance, log in and make the minimum payment now. Seriously. Do that first. Everything else can wait. If You’re Only a Few Days Late Here’s the good news: Credit bureaus don’t record late payments until they reach 30 days past due. So if you missed a due date by a few days and paid it as soon as you noticed, it typically won’t show up on your credit report as a late payment—as long as you’re under the 30-day mark. That said, it never hurts to double-check. You can call your credit card company, explain what happened, and confirm the account is back in good standing. If you normally pay on time, they may even reverse the interest charged. It doesn’t hurt to ask. If You’re 30, 60, or 90 Days Behind If payments have gone past 30 days, your credit has likely been impacted—but the situation is still fixable. The most important step is to: Bring all accounts current as soon as possible Make at least the minimum payment on every account The faster you catch up, the more you limit the damage. Ignoring missed payments only makes things worse. If Cash Flow Is Tight If you’re struggling to make payments, communication matters. Contact your lender and keep them informed—even if you can’t pay right away. Lenders are far more willing to work with you when you’re transparent. What hurts your credit most is silence . If lenders don’t hear from you after repeated missed payments, they may write the balance off as bad debt and send it to collections. Collections can significantly impact your credit and stay on your report for years. How This Affects Mortgage Qualification Repeated missed payments can make qualifying for a mortgage more difficult—but timing matters. Once you’re back to making regular, on-time payments: Your credit can improve over time The impact of past mistakes becomes less significant If you’re planning to buy a home in the next couple of years, addressing credit issues early gives you far more options later. Final Thoughts Missing a payment doesn’t mean you’re “bad with money,” and it doesn’t mean homeownership is off the table. What matters most is how quickly you respond and how consistent you are going forward .

I’d be happy to walk through it with you and help you create a clear path forward.
