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
- 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.
- 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.
- Combine Dry Ingredients: In a separate bowl, mix the rolled oats, protein powder, baking powder, baking soda, and salt thoroughly.
- Combine Wet and Dry: Gradually add the dry ingredients into the wet ingredients, stirring until just combined. Avoid over mixing to prevent dense muffins.
- Add Blueberries: Gently fold in the blueberries. For frozen blueberries, toss them with a little flour beforehand to prevent them from sinking during baking.
- 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.
- Bake: Bake in the preheated oven for 18-22 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
- 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.
