Ingredients
  

Dry Ingredients
  • 2 cups All-purpose flour Can substitute with half whole wheat or gluten-free 1:1 blend.
  • 1 scoops Vanilla protein powder Use a dairy-free option if needed.
  • 2 teaspoons Baking powder Ensure it's fresh.
  • 1/2 teaspoon Salt Helps enhance the flavor of blueberries.
Wet Ingredients
  • 2 large Eggs Can substitute with two flax eggs for egg-free option.
  • 1 cup Greek yogurt Sub with thick plant-based yogurt for dairy-free.
  • 1/2 cup Milk Dairy or non-dairy, add as needed.
  • 1/2 cup Maple syrup Can also use sugar or honey.
  • 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract Highly recommended.
Mix-ins
  • 2 cups Blueberries Fresh or frozen; if frozen, use directly from the freezer.

Method
 

Preparation
  1. Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a muffin tin with paper liners or lightly grease it.
  2. In a medium bowl, stir together flour, protein powder, baking powder, and salt.
  3. In a separate bowl, whisk together eggs, Greek yogurt, milk, sweetener, and vanilla until combined.
  4. Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and stir gently until just combined. If the batter is too thick, add a splash of milk.
  5. Fold in blueberries carefully to avoid smashing them.
  6. Fill each muffin cup about three-quarters full, adding extra blueberries on top if desired.
Baking
  1. Bake for 16 to 22 minutes, until the tops spring back and a toothpick comes out mostly clean.
  2. Let the muffins cool in the pan for 5 minutes before moving to a cooling rack.

Notes

These muffins freeze well; wrap individually and freeze for up to 2 months. Thaw overnight or microwave briefly. For variations, try adding lemon zest, almond extract, or a streusel topping.
