Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1/2 cup vanilla protein powder
  • 1/4 cup almond flour
  • 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
  • Zest of 1 lemon
  • 2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
  • 1/2 cup fresh or frozen blueberries

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a 12-cup muffin tin with paper liners or grease well.
  2. In a large bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, protein powder, almond flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
  3. In a separate medium bowl, combine the Greek yogurt, applesauce, maple syrup, egg, and vanilla extract. Mix until smooth.
  4. Add the lemon zest and lemon juice to the wet ingredients and stir.
  5. Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients. Mix gently until just combined. Do not overmix.
  6. Fold in the blueberries carefully.
  7. Divide the batter evenly among the 12 muffin cups, filling each about two-thirds full.
  8. Bake for 18 to 22 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
  9. Let the muffins cool in the pan for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.

Notes

  • For a gluten-free option, substitute the all-purpose flour with a 1:1 gluten-free baking blend.
  • If you use frozen blueberries, do not thaw them before adding them to the batter.
  • Store these healthy protein muffins in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days, or refrigerate for up to a week for meal prep.
