Ingredients (Makes about 12 muffins)

  • 1 cup Greek yogurt (plain or vanilla) – adds protein and moisture
  • 2 eggs – helps bind the muffins and adds fluffiness
  • ½ cup honey or maple syrup – natural sweetener
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract – enhances flavor
  • 1 cup oat flour or whole wheat flour – adds fiber and structure
  • ½ cup protein powder (vanilla or unflavored) – boosts protein content
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder – helps with rising
  • ½ teaspoon baking soda – creates a light texture
  • ½ teaspoon cinnamon – adds warmth and flavor (optional)
  • ¼ teaspoon salt – enhances the flavors
  • ½ cup add-ins (chocolate chips, blueberries, nuts, or dried fruit) – optional for extra texture and flavor

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a muffin tin with liners or grease it lightly.
  2. Mix wet ingredients: In a large bowl, whisk together the Greek yogurt, eggs, honey (or maple syrup), and vanilla extract until smooth.
  3. Combine dry ingredients: In a separate bowl, whisk together the oat flour, protein powder, baking powder, baking soda, cinnamon, and salt.
  4. Mix everything together: Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, stirring until just combined. Do not overmix. Fold in your add-ins if using.
  5. Fill the muffin cups: Spoon the batter evenly into the muffin tin, filling each about ¾ full.
  6. Bake for 15-20 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
  7. Cool & enjoy: Let the muffins cool in the pan for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack.

Notes

  • Customization: Swap oat flour with almond flour for a lower-carb option.
  • Storage: Store in an airtight container at room temperature for 2 days or refrigerate for up to 5 days. Freeze for longer storage.
  • High-protein boost: Add an extra egg or more protein powder for even more protein content.

These muffins are soft, moist, and packed with protein, making them a great healthy alternative to traditional muffins. Perfect for meal prep or a quick grab-and-go snack!
