Ingredients
Scale
1 cup all-purpose flour
1/2 cup vanilla protein powder
1 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/2 cup plain Greek yogurt (2% or full fat for best moisture)
1/4 cup maple syrup
1 large egg
1/4 cup unsweetened almond milk
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 cup fresh or frozen blueberries
1 tablespoon lemon zest (optional, for brightness)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a 12-cup muffin tin with paper liners or grease well.
In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, protein powder, baking soda, and salt.
In a separate medium bowl, mix the Greek yogurt, maple syrup, egg, almond milk, and vanilla extract until smooth.
Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients. Mix gently with a spatula until just combined. Do not overmix; a few lumps are fine.
Gently fold in the blueberries and lemon zest, if using.
Divide the batter evenly among the 12 muffin cups, filling each about two-thirds full.
Bake for 18 to 22 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of a muffin comes out clean.
Let the muffins cool in the pan for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Store these high protein muffins in an airtight container for easy grab-and-go breakfast options.
Notes
For extra moisture, you can substitute half the protein powder with oat flour.
If using frozen blueberries, do not thaw them before adding them to the batter.
These muffins freeze well for future meal prep; wrap individually before freezing.
