You will love these moist and fluffy Blueberry Protein Muffins. They pack a good amount of protein and are perfect for a healthy breakfast on the go or a satisfying snack.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1/2 cup oat flour
  • 1 scoop vanilla protein powder
  • 2 teaspoons baking powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 cup plain Greek yogurt (2% or full fat for best moisture)
  • 1/4 cup unsweetened applesauce
  • 1/4 cup maple syrup
  • 1 large egg
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1/2 cup milk (dairy or non-dairy)
  • 1 cup fresh or frozen blueberries

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a 12-cup muffin tin with paper liners or grease well.
  2. In a large bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, oat flour, protein powder, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
  3. In a separate medium bowl, mix the Greek yogurt, applesauce, maple syrup, egg, vanilla extract, and milk until smooth.
  4. Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients. Mix gently with a spatula until just combined. Do not overmix; a few lumps are fine.
  5. Gently fold in the blueberries. If using frozen berries, do not thaw them first.
  6. Divide the batter evenly among the 12 muffin cups, filling each about two-thirds full.
  7. Bake for 18 to 22 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of a muffin comes out clean.
  8. Let the muffins cool in the pan for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.

Notes

  • For extra moisture, use full-fat Greek yogurt. This recipe makes soft, fluffy protein muffins.
  • If you prefer a lower sugar option, you can reduce the maple syrup to 3 tablespoons.
  • These are excellent for meal prep muffins; store them in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days or freeze them for later.
