Ingredients
Wet Ingredients
- 1 cup plain Greek yogurt
- 2 large eggs
- ¼ cup honey or maple syrup
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Dry Ingredients
- 1 cup oat flour
- ½ cup vanilla protein powder
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- ½ teaspoon baking soda
- ½ teaspoon cinnamon
- ¼ teaspoon salt
Optional Add-Ins
- ½ cup blueberries or chocolate chips
Instructions
- Preheat and prepare muffin tin: Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a 12-cup muffin tin with liners or grease it lightly.
- Mix wet ingredients: In a medium bowl, whisk together the Greek yogurt, eggs, honey (or maple syrup), and vanilla extract until smooth and fully combined.
- Combine dry ingredients: In a separate large bowl, whisk together the oat flour, vanilla protein powder, baking powder, baking soda, cinnamon, and salt to evenly distribute all the leavening and spices.
- Fold dry into wet: Gradually fold the dry ingredients into the wet ingredients, mixing gently until just combined to avoid overmixing and keeping the muffins tender.
- Add optional ingredients: Gently stir in blueberries or chocolate chips if using, folding them evenly throughout the batter.
- Fill muffin cups: Divide the batter evenly among the 12 muffin cups, filling each about 3/4 full to allow room for rising.
- Bake: Bake in the preheated oven for 18 to 22 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the center of a muffin comes out clean.
- Cool and serve: Allow the muffins to cool in the pan for 10 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely or serve warm.
Notes
- Do not overmix the batter to keep the muffins tender and light.
- Store muffins in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 4 days or freeze for up to 2 months for longer storage.
- For extra texture and nutrition, add chopped nuts or seeds such as walnuts, almonds, or chia seeds to the batter before baking.
