Protein Blueberry Muffins
Ingredients:- 1 cup rolled oats
- 1 cup whole wheat flour
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 2 ripe bananas, mashed
- 2 large eggs
- 1/2 cup plain Greek yogurt
- 1/4 cup honey or maple syrup
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 cup fresh blueberries
Directions
- Preheat your oven to 350 degrees. Line a muffin tin with paper liners or grease each muffin cup lightly with oil or cooking spray.
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the rolled oats, whole wheat flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. Stir until well combined.
- In another bowl, whisk together the bananas, eggs, yogurt, honey or maple syrup, and vanilla extract until smooth.
- Pour the wet ingredients into the bowl with the dry ingredients. Stir until just combined, being careful not to overmix. It's okay if the batter is a little lumpy.
- Gently fold the fresh blueberries into the batter until evenly distributed.
- Spoon the batter into the prepared muffin cups, filling each about 3/4 full.
- Bake for 18-20 minutes, or until the muffins are golden brown and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
- Remove the muffins from the oven and let them cool in the muffin tin for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
- Once cooled, these muffins are ready to enjoy! Store any leftovers in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days, or in the refrigerator to keep fresh longer.
