Bake these soft, fluffy blueberry protein muffins using Greek yogurt and protein powder for a high-protein, grab-and-go breakfast or post-workout snack. They are moist, flavorful, and freezer-friendly.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1/2 cup vanilla protein powder
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 cup plain Greek yogurt
  • 1/4 cup milk (dairy or non-dairy)
  • 1/4 cup maple syrup or honey
  • 1 large egg
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 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 flour, protein powder, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
  3. In a separate medium bowl, mix the Greek yogurt, milk, maple syrup, egg, and vanilla extract until combined.
  4. Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients. Mix gently until just combined. Do not overmix; a few lumps are fine.
  5. Gently fold in the blueberries. If using frozen blueberries, 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 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 the best texture, use a quality vanilla protein powder.
  • These muffins freeze well for up to three months. Cool completely, then store in an airtight, freezer-safe bag. Thaw overnight or reheat briefly in the microwave.
  • If you prefer a lower-sugar option, reduce the maple syrup slightly and add a few drops of liquid stevia to taste.
