Ingredients You Will Need

To make these muffins, you will need the following items. These amounts will make a large batch to ensure you get that high protein count per serving.

  • 2 cups of oat flour

  • 4 scoops of vanilla whey protein powder

  • 1 cup of nonfat Greek yogurt

  • 2 large eggs

  • 1/2 cup of unsweetened almond milk

  • 1/4 cup of honey or maple syrup

  • 1 tablespoon of baking powder

  • 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract

  • 2 cups of fresh blueberries

  • 1/2 cup of almond meal (for the crumble)

  • 2 tablespoons of stevia or coconut sugar (for the crumble)

  • 1 tablespoon of melted coconut oil (for the crumble)

Step by Step Method

  1. Heat your oven: Start by turning your oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit. This ensures it is hot enough when your muffins are ready to go in.

  2. Prep the pan: Line a muffin tin with paper liners or spray it with a little bit of nonstick cooking oil.

  3. Mix the wet ingredients: In a large bowl, whisk together the eggs, Greek yogurt, almond milk, honey, and vanilla extract until the mixture is smooth.

  4. Add the dry ingredients: Stir in the oat flour, protein powder, and baking powder. Mix it gently until you do not see any more dry spots. Do not overmix or the muffins might get tough.

  5. Fold in blueberries: Gently toss the blueberries into the batter using a spoon. You want them spread out evenly.

  6. Make the crumble: In a small separate bowl, mix the almond meal, stevia, and melted coconut oil with a fork until it looks like wet sand.

  7. Fill the tins: Spoon the batter into the muffin cups. They should be almost full. Sprinkle the crumble mixture on top of each one.

  8. Bake: Put them in the oven for about 20 to 25 minutes. You can check if they are done by sticking a toothpick in the middle. If it comes out clean, they are ready.

  9. Cool: Let them sit in the pan for 5 minutes before moving them to a wire rack to cool completely.

Why This Recipe Is Special

This recipe is special because it balances macro nutrients perfectly. With 47g of protein in the total serving size mentioned, it provides more protein than many chicken or beef meals. The blueberries are full of antioxidants which are good for your brain and skin. Using oat flour instead of white flour means you get more fiber, which helps your digestion. It is a rare combination of something that tastes like a β€œcheat meal” but functions like a superfood.

Extra Tips for Better Taste

If you want an even better flavor, try adding a little bit of lemon zest to the batter. The lemon makes the blueberry flavor pop. You can also use frozen blueberries if fresh ones are not in season, just make sure not to thaw them first or they will turn the whole batter purple. For a crunchier crumble, you can add a few chopped walnuts or pecans to the top before baking.
