Recipe preparation

Essential Ingredients

Here’s what you’ll need to make this delicious dish:

Oats: Use rolled oats for texture; they add heartiness while providing fiber and nutrients.
Greek Yogurt: Opt for plain Greek yogurt to boost protein content and moisture without added sugars.
Fresh Blueberries: Choose plump blueberries for maximum sweetness; frozen works too if fresh isn’t available.
Honey or Maple Syrup: These natural sweeteners enhance flavor while keeping everything wholesome.
Baking Powder: Essential for fluffiness; make sure it’s fresh for the best rise.
Eggs: Use large eggs to bind everything together and add richness.
Coconut Oil or Butter: A little fat goes a long way in keeping these muffins moist and delicious.
Protein Powder: Choose your favorite type; it boosts nutrition without sacrificing flavor.

The full ingredients list, including measurements, is provided in the recipe card directly below.

Let’s Make it together

Preheat That Oven: Begin by preheating your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a muffin tin with paper liners or grease it with some coconut oil.

Mix Dry Ingredients Together: In a large bowl, combine oats, flour, baking powder, and protein powder. Stir until well mixed; this will ensure even distribution of flavors.

Add Wet Ingredients: In another bowl, whisk together Greek yogurt, honey (or maple syrup), melted coconut oil (or butter), and eggs until smooth. This creamy mixture is where the magic starts!

Combine Mixtures Gently: Pour the wet ingredients into the dry mixture and fold gently using a spatula until just combined—avoid overmixing to keep those muffins light and fluffy.

Add Blueberries: Carefully fold in fresh blueberries until evenly distributed throughout the batter—this is where we go from good to great!

Bake Them Up: Spoon the batter into the prepared muffin tin—fill each cup about three-quarters full—and bake in the preheated oven for 18-20 minutes until golden brown. The aroma will be irresistible!

Enjoying these delightful Protein Blueberry Muffins will fill your home with warmth and love—perfectly suited for breakfast or as an afternoon pick-me-up!
