Essential Ingredients
Here’s what you’ll need to make this delicious dish:
- Whole Wheat Flour: This gives the muffins a wholesome texture while adding fiber to keep you full longer.
- Protein Powder: I use vanilla-flavored protein powder to enhance the sweetness without adding sugar.
- Baking Powder: Fresh baking powder is essential for that lovely rise and fluffy texture.
- Blueberries: Fresh or frozen blueberries work great; just ensure they’re plump and juicy for maximum flavor.
- Honey or Maple Syrup: Use either natural sweetener to add just the right amount of sweetness without being overpowering.
- Greek Yogurt: This adds moisture and creaminess while boosting protein content—double win!
- Eggs: Vital for binding everything together and giving your muffins that delightful crumb.
- Milk of Choice: Dairy or plant-based milk helps bring the batter together; pick your favorite!

Let’s Make it Together
Preheat Your Oven: First things first, preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease your muffin tin with cooking spray or line it with paper liners to prevent sticking.
Mix Dry Ingredients: In a large bowl, whisk together whole wheat flour, protein powder, baking powder, and a pinch of salt until well combined. This ensures even distribution of flavors and leavening.
Add Wet Ingredients: In another bowl, mix Greek yogurt, honey (or maple syrup), eggs, and milk until smooth. The mixture should be creamy but not runny—think fluffy clouds!
Combine Mixtures Gently: Gradually fold the dry ingredients into the wet mixture using a spatula. Be gentle here; we want airy muffins! Stop mixing once you see no dry flour—lumps are okay!
Add Blueberries Delightfully: Gently fold in those beautiful blueberries until evenly distributed throughout the batter. Try not to crush them unless you enjoy purple hands!
Bake Until Golden Brown: Pour the batter into your prepared muffin tin—fill each cup about ¾ full. Bake for 18-20 minutes or until golden brown and a toothpick inserted comes out clean!
Once cooled slightly, enjoy these delightful Protein Blueberry Muffins fresh out of the oven or store them in an airtight container for later indulgence!
