Ingredients

Units Scale

Dry Ingredients

  • 1 1/2 cups rolled oats
  • 1/2 cup protein powder
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
  • Pinch of salt

Wet Ingredients

  • 2 large eggs
  • 1/2 cup Greek yogurt
  • 1/2 cup almond milk
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 2 tablespoons erythritol or honey

Fruits

  • 1 cup fresh or frozen berries (blueberries, raspberries, or strawberries)

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Dry Ingredients: In a large mixing bowl, combine rolled oats, protein powder, baking powder, baking soda, cinnamon, and a pinch of salt. Stir thoroughly to ensure even distribution of all dry components.
  2. Mix Wet Ingredients: In a separate bowl, whisk together eggs, Greek yogurt, almond milk, vanilla extract, and your chosen sweetener until smooth and well blended.
  3. Combine Wet and Dry: Pour the wet ingredients into the dry mixture and gently fold together. Be careful not to overmix, as this can make muffins tough. The batter should be thick but still easy to spoon.
  4. Fold in the Berries: Carefully add the fresh or frozen berries, folding them evenly into the batter. This step ensures bursts of juicy flavor in every bite without crushing the berries.
  5. Bake to Perfection: Divide the batter evenly into a greased or lined muffin tin. Bake in a preheated oven at 350ยฐF (175ยฐC) for 20-25 minutes until muffins are golden brown and a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.

Notes

  • Use Fresh or Frozen Berries: Both work well, but frozen berries might add extra moistureโ€”adjust baking time slightly if needed.
  • Donโ€™t Overmix Batter: Mixing just until combined keeps muffins tender and light instead of dense.
  • Measure Protein Powder Correctly: Level your scoops to avoid dry or crumbly texture from too much powder.
  • Check Oven Temperature: Accurate temperature ensures even baking and prevents dry edges.
  • Add a Spoonful of Extra Yogurt: Boosts moisture without heaviness, perfect for a velvety crumb.
