These Protein Muffins are a delicious, healthy treat packed with protein from Greek yogurt and protein powder. They’re perfect for breakfast, post-workout, or anytime you need a nutritious snack.

Ingredients

1 large egg

⅔ cup (180 g) Greek yogurt, 2% fat or full fat recommended

4 oz (115 g) ripe banana, or ½ cup (120 g) applesauce

⅓ cup (80 ml) maple syrup, or honey

1 ½ cups (150 g) oat flour, or almond flour

½ cup (50 g) protein powder

2 tsp baking powder

1 tsp vanilla extract

⅙ tsp salt

3 to 6 tbsp milk of choice

¼ cup (50 g) dark chocolate chips, optional

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a muffin tin with paper liners or grease it lightly.
  2. In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the egg, Greek yogurt, mashed ripe banana (or applesauce), and maple syrup (or honey).
  3. Add the oat flour (or almond flour), protein powder, baking powder, vanilla extract, and salt to the wet ingredients. Stir to combine.
  4. Gradually add the milk, starting with 3 tablespoons. Mix until the batter is thick but smooth. Add up to 3 more tablespoons of milk if you prefer a thinner batter.
  5. Gently fold in the dark chocolate chips (if using).
  6. Divide the batter evenly among the muffin cups, filling each about ¾ full.
  7. Bake for 18-22 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
  8. Allow the muffins to cool in the tin for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
  9. Enjoy as a quick breakfast or snack!

Notes

For flavored protein powder, try chocolate or vanilla for a unique twist.

Feel free to add blueberries, raspberries, or chopped apples for added flavor and texture.

Add chopped nuts (e.g., walnuts or almonds) for some crunch and extra protein.

For a vegan option, use a flax egg and dairy-free yogurt.

To make these muffins sugar-free, substitute maple syrup or honey with stevia or erythritol.
