Description
These classic protein muffins are a simple way to boost your protein intake. They feature protein powder, Greek yogurt, and eggs, ensuring a moist texture.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 ½ cups (180g) all-purpose flour
- ½ cup (60g) vanilla or unflavored protein powder
- ½ cup (100g) granulated sugar
- 1 tablespoon baking powder
- ½ teaspoon salt
- 1 large egg
- 1 cup (240g) plain Greek yogurt
- ¼ cup (60ml) milk (any kind)
- ¼ cup (60ml) vegetable oil or melted unsalted butter
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- Optional: ½ cup (75g) add-ins like berries, chocolate chips, or chopped nuts
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a 12-cup muffin tin with paper liners or lightly grease it.
- In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, protein powder, sugar, baking powder, and salt.
- In a separate medium bowl, whisk the egg, Greek yogurt, milk, oil (or butter), and vanilla extract until smooth.
- Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients. Stir with a spatula until just combined. Do not overmix; a few lumps are fine. If using, gently fold in your chosen add-ins.
- Divide the batter evenly among the 12 muffin cups.
- Bake for 18-22 minutes, or until a wooden skewer inserted into the center of a muffin comes out clean.
- Let the muffins cool in the tin for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Notes
- For extra protein, you can add a scoop of collagen powder to the dry ingredients.
- Store leftover muffins in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days or in the refrigerator for up to 5 days.
- These muffins freeze well for up to 3 months. Thaw at room temperature or microwave for a few seconds.
