Ingredients
Scale
Dry Ingredients
- 1 cup plain flour
- 1/2 cup vanilla-flavored protein powder
- 1 tsp baking powder
- 1 tsp baking soda
Wet Ingredients
- 3/4 cup thick Greek yogurt
- 1/2 cup extra-virgin olive oil
- 2 tbsp honey
- 1 large egg
- 1 tsp pure vanilla extract
Fruit
- 10 oz fresh blueberries
Instructions
- Preheat and Prepare: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a muffin tin with paper liners or lightly grease it to prevent sticking.
- Mix Dry Ingredients: In a large bowl, whisk together the plain flour, vanilla protein powder, baking powder, and baking soda until evenly combined.
- Combine Wet Ingredients: In a separate bowl, blend the Greek yogurt, extra-virgin olive oil, honey, large egg, and pure vanilla extract until smooth and well incorporated.
- Combine Wet and Dry: Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and gently fold together with a spatula until just combined. Avoid overmixing to keep the muffins tender.
- Add Blueberries: Carefully fold in the fresh blueberries to distribute them evenly throughout the batter.
- Fill Muffin Tin: Spoon the batter evenly into the prepared muffin tin, filling each cup about 3/4 full to allow room for rising.
- Bake: Bake in the preheated oven for 18-22 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of a muffin comes out clean.
- Cool and Serve: Allow the muffins to cool in the tin for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely. Serve warm or at room temperature.
Notes
- For best results, use fresh blueberries to avoid excess moisture in the batter.
- You can substitute the extra-virgin olive oil with melted coconut oil for a different flavor profile.
- Ensure not to overmix the batter to keep the muffins light and fluffy.
- Protein powder types can be varied (whey, plant-based), but adjust moisture as necessary if you use a different variety.
- Store leftovers in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 2 days or refrigerate for up to a week.
