Ingredients
Scale
- 1 ½ cups fresh blueberries
- 1 cup Greek yogurt (preferably plain or vanilla flavored)
- 2 eggs
- 1/2 cup honey or maple syrup
- 1 ½ cups whole wheat flour
- 1 scoop vanilla protein powder
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- Optional: ¼ cup chopped nuts or seeds for added crunch
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a muffin tin with paper liners or lightly grease it.
- In a large mixing bowl, whisk together Greek yogurt, eggs, honey, and vanilla extract until smooth.
- In a separate bowl, combine whole wheat flour, protein powder, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
- Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, stirring just until combined.
- Gently fold in the blueberries, ensuring they are evenly distributed throughout the batter.
- Spoon the batter into the prepared muffin cups, filling each about 3/4 full.
- Bake for 20-25 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
- Allow muffins to cool slightly before removing from the tin.
Notes
- For added flavor, sprinkle extra blueberries on top before baking.
- Replace part of the Greek yogurt with mashed bananas or applesauce for moister muffins.
- Use fresh blueberries for the best flavor; frozen blueberries work if thawed and drained.
