Can I use plant-based protein powder instead of whey?

Absolutely! I've tested this with pea protein and it works great - just add an extra splash of milk since plant proteins tend to absorb more liquid. The texture comes out slightly denser, but still delicious with that protein-packed punch we love.

How long do protein muffins last in the freezer?

They freeze beautifully for up to 3 months - though mine never last that long! Pro tip: write the date on your freezer bag so you don't forget. After 30 seconds in the microwave, they taste like they were baked that morning.

What if I don't have Kodiak mix?

No worries - regular pancake mix works in a pinch, just add an extra scoop of protein powder. My nutritionist friend swears by using oat flour for extra fiber too!

Why are my muffins dry?

Two likely culprits - overbaking (check at 18 minutes!) or overmixing the batter (those lumps are good, I promise!). Also, make sure your banana is nice and ripe for maximum moisture.
