High Protein Blueberry Muffins
Servings 12 muffins
These protein oat blueberry muffins are soft, moist, and packed with juicy blueberries, with 8 grams of protein in each muffin! Made with oats instead of flour, plus Greek yogurt, applesauce, and protein powder, they're an easy make-ahead breakfast or snack that's naturally sweetened with honey. {Gluten-free friendly & vegetarian}
Ingredients
- 2 cups oats (can use quick or rolled)
- 1/2 cup vanilla protein powder
- 2 teaspoons baking powder
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 3/4 cup unsweetened applesauce
- 1 cup plain 0% Greek yogurt
- 1/4 cup honey
- 2 large eggs
- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 1 1/4 cups blueberries
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Spray regular sized muffin tin with non-stick cooking spray or line 12 muffin tins with silicone liners.
- Place the oats in a blender and pulse until the oats are finely ground into a flour-like consistency.
- Pour the ground oats into a large bowl. Add the protein powder, baking powder, baking soda, cinnamon and salt. Stir to combine.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together the applesauce, Greek yogurt, honey, eggs, and vanilla until smooth.
- Add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients and mix until just combined.
- Fold in the blueberries until evenly distributed. You may wish to reserve a few berries to poke into the top of each muffin.
- Divide batter equally among the muffin cups, and bake for 20-22 minutes, or until an inserted toothpick comes out clean. They should be slightly firm to the touch and lightly golden in some places. Let the muffins cool for at least 10 minutes before removing them from the tin.
Notes
-
- My favorite protein powder to use is this vegan Good Protein powder. It's so delicious and comes in lots of different flavors. My favorite flavors to use in these muffins are Vanilla Milkshake and Bananas and Cream.
- These muffins were tested with a vegan vanilla protein powder, but you can sub in a whey protein powder if preferred.
- If you have some oat flour on hand, you can skip the first step where you blend the oats and simply mix 1½ cups oat flour in with the dry ingredients.
- Mashed banana can also be used instead of applesauce if desired.
