Blueberry Protein Greek Yogurt (Printable)

Flavorful muffins infused with juicy blueberries and rich Greek yogurt for a moist, protein-packed bite.

# What's Needed:

→ Dry Ingredients

01 - 1 3/4 cups all-purpose flour
02 - 1/2 cup vanilla protein powder (whey or plant-based)
03 - 1 tsp baking powder
04 - 1/2 tsp baking soda
05 - 1/4 tsp salt
06 - 1 tbsp all-purpose flour (for tossing blueberries)

→ Wet Ingredients

07 - 1 cup plain Greek yogurt (2% or full fat)
08 - 2 large eggs
09 - 1/3 cup milk (dairy or unsweetened plant-based)
10 - 1/3 cup light olive oil or melted coconut oil
11 - 1/2 cup granulated sugar or coconut sugar
12 - 1 tsp pure vanilla extract

→ Add-Ins

13 - 1 cup fresh or frozen blueberries (do not thaw if frozen)

# How to Make It:

01 - Preheat oven to 350°F. Line a 12-cup muffin tin with paper liners or lightly grease with cooking spray.
02 - In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, protein powder, baking powder, baking soda, and salt until well blended.
03 - In a large bowl, whisk Greek yogurt, eggs, milk, oil, sugar, and vanilla extract until smooth and fully incorporated.
04 - Add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture. Stir gently with a spatula until just combined, being careful not to overmix.
05 - Toss blueberries with 1 tablespoon flour in a small bowl to coat evenly, preventing them from sinking during baking.
06 - Gently fold the coated blueberries into the batter using a spatula, taking care not to crush the fruit.
07 - Divide batter evenly among the 12 muffin cups, filling each approximately 3/4 full.
08 - Bake for 18-22 minutes until a toothpick inserted into the center of a muffin comes out clean.
09 - Let muffins cool in the pan for 5 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely before serving.

# Tips for Success:

01 -
  • You get 7 grams of protein per muffin without that weird powdery aftertaste that ruins most protein baked goods
  • The Greek yogurt keeps them incredibly moist for days unlike regular muffins that turn into hockey pucks
  • They taste like something you'd grab at a fancy coffee shop but cost a fraction and actually fuel you properly
02 -
  • Protein powder brands vary wildly in sweetness, so start with less sugar if your powder is already sweetened
  • Let them cool in the pan for 5 minutes or theyll tear apart when you try to remove them, learned this the hard way
  • These freeze beautifully so I always make extras and grab one in the morning for a quick breakfast
03 -
  • Sprinkle coarse sugar on top before baking for that bakery style crunch
  • Room temperature ingredients blend better so take everything out about 20 minutes before you start
