Ingredients
  

  • 1 3/4 cups white whole wheat flour (or half all-purpose, half whole wheat)
  • 1/2 cup vanilla or unflavored whey or plant-based protein powder
  • 2 teaspoons baking powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/2 teaspoon fine sea salt
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon (optional but lovely)
  • 2 large eggs, room temperature
  • 1 cup plain Greek yogurt (2% or 5%)
  • 1/3 cup pure maple syrup or honey
  • 1/3 cup olive oil or melted coconut oil
  • 1/3 cup milk (dairy or unsweetened almond), plus more as needed
  • 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
  • 1 1/2 cups blueberries (fresh or frozen; do not thaw)
  • 1 tablespoon flour for tossing berries (prevents sinking)
  • Optional: coarse sugar or sliced almonds for topping

Instructions
 

  • Prep the oven and pan: Heat oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a 12-cup muffin tin with liners or lightly grease.
  • Mix dry ingredients: In a large bowl, whisk flour, protein powder, baking powder, baking soda, salt, and cinnamon until well combined.
  • Whisk wet ingredients: In a separate bowl, whisk eggs, Greek yogurt, maple syrup, oil, milk, and vanilla until smooth.
  • Combine: Pour wet ingredients into dry. Stir gently with a spatula until just combined. The batter should be thick but scoopable. If it’s too stiff, add 1–2 tablespoons more milk.
  • Fold in berries: Toss blueberries with 1 tablespoon flour, then fold into the batter with a few gentle strokes. Don’t overmix.
  • Fill the tin: Divide batter evenly among the cups, filling to the top for tall domes. Sprinkle with coarse sugar or sliced almonds if using.
  • Bake: Bake 18–22 minutes, until the tops are set and a toothpick comes out clean or with a few moist crumbs.
  • Cool: Let muffins cool in the pan 5 minutes, then transfer to a rack to cool completely. This helps the texture set and prevents soggy bottoms.
