Ingredients
10 oz fresh or frozen blueberries
1 cup plain flour
1/2 cup vanilla-flavored protein powder
3/4 cup thick Greek yogurt
1/2 cup extra-virgin olive oil
2 tbsp honey
1 large egg
1 tsp baking powder
1 tsp baking soda
1 tsp pure vanilla extract
Instructions
1. Preheat oven to 360°F (180°C) and line a 12-cup muffin pan.
2. In a large bowl, whisk egg, honey, Greek yogurt, vanilla, and olive oil until smooth.
3. Add flour, protein powder, baking powder, and baking soda; stir just until combined to avoid overmixing.
4. Lightly toss blueberries in flour, then gently fold them into the batter without crushing.
5. Divide batter evenly into 12 lined muffin cups.
6. Bake for 15–20 minutes or until a toothpick inserted comes out clean.
7. Let muffins cool in the pan for 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack.
Notes
Avoid overmixing to prevent dense muffins.
Do not thaw frozen blueberries before use to prevent sogginess and discoloration.
Coating blueberries in a bit of flour helps keep them from sinking.
Use the recommended amount of protein powder to avoid dryness.
Let muffins cool briefly in the pan before moving to a rack to avoid soggy bottoms.
