Ingredients
Wet Ingredients
- 1 cup plain Greek yogurt
- 2 large eggs
- ¼ cup honey or maple syrup
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Dry Ingredients
- 1 cup oat flour
- ½ cup vanilla protein powder
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- ½ teaspoon baking soda
- ½ teaspoon cinnamon
- ¼ teaspoon salt
Optional
- ½ cup blueberries or chocolate chips
Instructions
- Preheat Oven: Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a 12-cup muffin tin with liners or grease it.
- Mix Wet Ingredients: In a medium bowl, whisk together the Greek yogurt, eggs, honey or maple syrup, and vanilla extract until smooth and well combined.
- Combine Dry Ingredients: In another bowl, sift or whisk together the oat flour, vanilla protein powder, baking powder, baking soda, cinnamon, and salt to evenly distribute the leavening agents and spices.
- Fold Ingredients: Gently fold the dry ingredients into the wet mixture until just combined. Avoid overmixing to ensure the muffins stay tender.
- Add Optional Mix-ins: If using, fold in the blueberries or chocolate chips evenly throughout the batter.
- Fill Muffin Cups: Divide the batter evenly among the 12 muffin cups, filling each 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: Remove from oven and let the muffins cool in the pan for about 10 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely or serve warm.
Notes
- Do not overmix the batter to keep the muffins tender and moist.
- Store muffins in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 4 days, or freeze for up to 2 months.
- For extra texture and nutrition, add chopped nuts or seeds to the batter.
