- 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 unsweetened applesauce
- 1/4 cup maple syrup
- 1 large egg
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1/2 cup fresh or frozen blueberries
- Preheat your oven to 375 degrees Fahrenheit (190 degrees Celsius). Line a 12-cup muffin tin with paper liners or grease it well.
- In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, protein powder, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
- In a separate medium bowl, mix the Greek yogurt, applesauce, maple syrup, egg, and vanilla extract until combined.
- Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients. Mix gently until just combined; do not overmix.
- Fold in the blueberries carefully.
- Divide the batter evenly among the 12 muffin cups, filling each about two-thirds full.
- Bake for 18 to 20 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
- Let the muffins cool in the tin for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Notes
- You can use any flavor of protein powder you prefer, but vanilla works best for this recipe.
- If using frozen blueberries, do not thaw them before adding them to the batter.
- Store leftover muffins in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days or refrigerate for up to a week.
