Ingredients
Scale
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 1/2 cup oat flour
- 1 scoop vanilla protein powder
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 cup plain Greek yogurt (2% or full-fat for moisture)
- 1/4 cup unsweetened applesauce
- 1/4 cup maple syrup or honey
- 1 large egg
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1/2 cup milk (dairy or non-dairy)
- 1 cup fresh or frozen blueberries
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a 12-cup muffin tin with paper liners or grease well.
- In a large bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, oat flour, protein powder, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. This is your dry mix.
- In a separate medium bowl, whisk together the Greek yogurt, applesauce, maple syrup, egg, and vanilla extract until smooth.
- Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients. Mix gently with a spatula until just combined. Do not overmix; a few lumps are fine.
- Gently fold in the blueberries. If using frozen blueberries, do not thaw them first.
- Divide the batter evenly among the 12 muffin cups, filling each about two-thirds full.
- Bake for 18 to 22 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of a muffin comes out clean.
- Let the muffins cool in the pan for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely. These are great for on the go breakfast ideas.
Notes
- For extra moisture and a protein boost, use Greek yogurt. It makes these high protein muffins soft.
- If you prefer a lower sugar muffin, reduce the maple syrup to 3 tablespoons and add 1/4 teaspoon of stevia or your preferred zero-calorie sweetener.
- These are excellent for meal prep muffins; store cooled muffins in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days or freeze them for longer storage.
- If you want a different flavor, substitute the blueberries with 1/2 cup chocolate chips for chocolate protein muffins or add 1 teaspoon of cinnamon for snickerdoodle protein muffins flavor.
