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.
