PRINT RECIPE

Ingredients

  • 1/3 c white flour + 1 tbsp reserved
  • 1/3 c wheat flour
  • 2/3 cup protein powder any flavor will work, but vanilla or another mild flavor is suggested
  • 1/2 tsp baking powder
  • 1/4 tsp salt
  • 1/2 cup plain whole milk greek yogurt
  • 1 egg
  • 1/2 cup applesauce
  • 1/3 cup sugar
  • 1 tsp vanilla
  • 1 cup blueberries fresh or frozen (See notes for frozen)

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 400 degrees. Line a muffin tin with liners or use non-stick spray.
  • In a large bowl combine flours, protein powder, baking powder and salt.
  • In a medium sized bowl whisk together yogurt, egg, applesauce, sugar and vanilla.
  • Add wet ingredients to the flour mixture and mix until just combined.
  • Place blueberries in a small bowl and coat with reserved 1 tbsp flour.
  • Gently fold blueberries into batter.
  • Fill the prepared muffin tin, nearly filling each muffin to the top. This should make ~6 or so muffins, depending on the size of your muffin tin.
  • Bake muffins at 400 for 18-20 minutes until golden brown and a toothpick inserted comes out clean.
  • Allow to cool fully and enjoy! Store in an airtight container for up to 1 week or freeze for up to 2 months.

Notes

  • Any flavor protein powder will do!
  • I used whey protein, but plant based should work as well.
  • Feel free to use all whole wheat or white flour. If using other flours see the link I provided in the FAQs for conversions.
  • Feel free to swap out fruit or use other mix ins like chocolate chips, nuts, dried fruit, etc!
  • I'd recommend only use high quality liners and spraying them with non-stick spray. Or use no liners and a silicone "tin"
