Description

These Healthy Greek Yogurt Blueberry Protein Muffins are a nutritious and delicious option for breakfast or a snack. Packed with protein from Greek yogurt and protein powder, along with fiber-rich oats and antioxidant-packed blueberries, these muffins offer a wholesome and satisfying treat. Sweetened naturally with honey or maple syrup and made without refined flour, they’re both health-conscious and flavorful.


Ingredients

Scale

Wet Ingredients

  • 1 cup plain Greek yogurt
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1/2 cup honey or maple syrup
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Dry Ingredients

  • 1 cup rolled oats
  • 2/3 cup protein powder (vanilla-flavored preferred)
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt

Add-ins

  • 1 cup blueberries (fresh or frozen)
  • Optional: 1/4 cup chopped nuts or seeds


Instructions

  1. Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a muffin tin with paper liners or lightly spray with non-stick cooking spray to prepare for baking.
  2. Mix Wet Ingredients: In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the Greek yogurt, eggs, honey or maple syrup, and vanilla extract until the mixture is smooth and well combined.
  3. Combine Dry Ingredients: In a separate bowl, mix the rolled oats, protein powder, baking powder, baking soda, and salt thoroughly.
  4. Combine Wet and Dry: Gradually add the dry ingredients into the wet ingredients, stirring until just combined. Avoid over mixing to prevent dense muffins.
  5. Add Blueberries: Gently fold in the blueberries. For frozen blueberries, toss them with a little flour beforehand to prevent them from sinking during baking.
  6. Fill Muffin Tin: Spoon the batter into the prepared muffin tin, filling each cup about 3/4 full. Optionally, sprinkle chopped nuts or seeds on top for added texture.
  7. Bake: Bake in the preheated oven for 18-22 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
  8. Cool: Let the muffins cool in the tin for about 5 minutes, then transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely before serving.

Notes

  • Use vanilla-flavored protein powder to complement the muffin flavors.
  • For best results, use fresh or frozen blueberries; if using frozen, toss them in flour to prevent sinking.
  • Optional nuts or seeds add a crunchy texture and extra nutrients.
  • These muffins can be stored in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days or refrigerated for up to a week.
  • They freeze well—store individually wrapped muffins in the freezer for up to 2 months.
