Moist, nutritious, and protein-packed homemade muffins that make a perfect quick breakfast, post-workout snack, or on-the-go treat. Easy to customize with your favorite flavors and add-ins for a healthy and satisfying bite any time of day.

Ingredients

  • 1 cup whole wheat flour (or oat flour or grain-free flour blend)
  • 1/2 cup protein powder (whey or plant-based)
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 2 eggs (or flax eggs for vegan)
  • 3/4 cup milk (dairy or plant-based)
  • 1/2 cup Greek yogurt (or non-dairy yogurt)
  • 1/4 cup honey or maple syrup
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • Optional add-ins: mashed banana, berries, chocolate chips, nuts, or seeds

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 180°C (350°F) and line a 12-cup muffin tin with liners or grease lightly.
  2. In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, protein powder, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
  3. In a separate bowl, mix eggs, milk, yogurt, sweetener, and vanilla extract until smooth.
  4. Combine wet and dry ingredients, stirring gently until just incorporated. Do not overmix.
  5. Fold in your chosen add-ins, such as berries, banana, or nuts.
  6. Divide the batter evenly among muffin cups, filling each about two-thirds full.
  7. Bake for 18–22 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
  8. Cool in the pan for 5 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely before serving or storing.

Notes

  • Don’t overmix the batter — it keeps the muffins light and tender.
  • Adjust the sweetness based on your protein powder flavor.
  • Use ripe bananas or fruit puree for natural sweetness and moisture.
  • Store or freeze muffins once completely cooled to maintain freshness.
