Description

These Greek Yogurt Protein Muffins are soft, moist, and easy to make. Greek yogurt adds a creamy texture, while protein powder makes them a more filling choice for breakfast or snack time. Make a batch ahead and enjoy them throughout the week.


Ingredients

  • 1 cup plain Greek yogurt
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1/3 cup honey or maple syrup
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 1/2 cups oat flour
  • 1/2 cup vanilla protein powder
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 cup milk, as needed
  • 1/2 cup fresh blueberries, optional
  • 2 tablespoons mini chocolate chips, optional


Instructions

  • Preheat the oven: Heat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a 12-cup muffin pan with paper liners or lightly grease it.
  • Mix the wet ingredients: In a large bowl, whisk together the Greek yogurt, eggs, honey or maple syrup, and vanilla.
  • Add the dry ingredients: Add the oat flour, protein powder, baking powder, baking soda, cinnamon, and salt. Stir gently until combined.
  • Check the batter: If the batter feels very thick, add milk 1 tablespoon at a time until it is thick but easy to scoop.
  • Add extras: Gently fold in blueberries or chocolate chips if using.
  • Fill the muffin cups: Divide the batter evenly between the 12 cups, filling each about 3/4 full.
  • Bake: Bake for 18–22 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
  • Cool: Let the muffins cool in the pan for 5 minutes, then transfer them to a wire rack.

Notes

Storage

Store the muffins in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 2 days or in the refrigerator for up to 5 days.

For longer storage, freeze the muffins for up to 3 months. Thaw them overnight in the refrigerator or at room temperature.

Recipe Tips

  • Use thick Greek yogurt for soft, moist muffins.
  • Don’t overmix the batter or the muffins may become dense.
  • If using frozen blueberries, add them straight from the freezer.
  • Try adding lemon zest for a fresh flavor.
  • For chocolate muffins, add 2 tablespoons of unsweetened cocoa powder and use chocolate protein powder.
