Ingredients
Scale
Wet Ingredients
- 1 large egg
- 2 tbsp honey
- 3/4 cup thick Greek yogurt
- 1 tsp pure vanilla extract
- 1/2 cup extra-virgin olive oil
Dry Ingredients
- 1 cup plain flour
- 1/2 cup vanilla-flavored protein powder
- 1 tsp baking powder
- 1 tsp baking soda
Fruit
- 10 oz fresh blueberries
Instructions
- Preheat the Oven: Set your oven to preheat at 360°F (180°C). This ensures that the muffins will bake evenly as soon as they’re placed in the oven.
- Mix the Wet Ingredients: In a large mixing bowl, combine the egg, honey, Greek yogurt, vanilla extract, and olive oil. Whisk the ingredients together until the mixture is smooth and well blended.
- Add Dry Ingredients: Add the plain flour, vanilla-flavored protein powder, baking powder, and baking soda to the wet mixture. Stir gently to incorporate all the dry ingredients, mixing only until combined to avoid dense muffins.
- Fold in the Blueberries: Gently fold the fresh blueberries into the batter using a spatula or spoon, taking care not to crush the berries. Mix just enough to distribute the blueberries evenly.
- Portion and Bake the Muffins: Spoon the muffin batter into a lined muffin pan, dividing it evenly to make 12 regular-sized muffins. Place the pan in the center of the preheated oven and bake for about 15-20 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
- Cool and Serve the Muffins: Remove the muffin pan from the oven and allow the muffins to rest in the pan for a few minutes to cool slightly before transferring them to a wire rack or serving plate. This helps them hold their shape and makes them easier to handle.
Notes
- Do not overmix the batter to avoid dense and tough muffins.
- Gently fold in blueberries to prevent them from bursting and coloring the batter purple.
- Use fresh blueberries for the best taste and texture; frozen can be used but may affect moisture.
- Ensure the oven is fully preheated to achieve even baking.
- Allow muffins to cool slightly before removing from the pan to keep their shape intact.
