- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 1/2 cup vanilla protein powder
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 cup plain Greek yogurt
- 1/4 cup unsweetened applesauce
- 1/4 cup maple syrup
- 1 large egg
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1/2 cup fresh or frozen blueberries
- Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a 12-cup muffin tin with paper liners or grease well.
- In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, protein powder, baking soda, baking powder, and salt.
- In a separate medium bowl, combine the Greek yogurt, applesauce, maple syrup, egg, and vanilla extract. Mix until smooth.
- Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients. Mix gently until just combined. Do not overmix.
- Gently fold in the blueberries.
- Divide the batter evenly among the 12 muffin cups.
- Bake for 18 to 20 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
- Let the muffins cool in the pan for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Notes
- For extra moisture, use frozen blueberries without thawing them first.
- These muffins are excellent for meal prep and store well in an airtight container for up to 4 days.
- If you prefer a lower-sugar option, reduce the maple syrup to 3 tablespoons.
