Simple and tasty recipe for protein muffins:
Ingredients:
- 1 cup oat flour (or whole wheat flour)
- 1/2 cup protein powder (vanilla or unflavored)
- 1/4 cup almond meal (or additional oat flour)
- 1/2 cup Greek yogurt (plain or vanilla)
- 2 large eggs
- 1/4 cup honey or maple syrup
- 1/4 cup milk (dairy or plant-based)
- 1/4 cup coconut oil or melted butter
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1/2 cup add-ins like blueberries, chocolate chips, or nuts (optional)
Instructions:
- Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a muffin tin with paper liners or lightly grease it.
- Mix Dry Ingredients: In a large bowl, whisk together the oat flour, protein powder, almond meal, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
- Combine Wet Ingredients: In another bowl, mix the Greek yogurt, eggs, honey (or maple syrup), milk, melted coconut oil (or butter), and vanilla extract until smooth and well combined.
- Combine Mixtures: Add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients and stir until just combined. Be careful not to overmix. If you’re adding any mix-ins, fold them in gently.
- Fill Muffin Tin: Divide the batter evenly among the muffin cups, filling each about 3/4 full.
- Bake: Bake for 18-22 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
- Cool: Allow the muffins to cool in the pan for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
