Ingredients Method Notes

Ingredients

10 oz fresh blueberries
1 cup plain all-purpose flour
1/2 cup vanilla-flavored protein powder
3/4 cup thick Greek yogurt
1/2 cup extra-virgin olive oil
2 tbsp honey
1 large egg
1 tsp baking powder
1 tsp baking soda
1 tsp pure vanilla extract

Method

Begin by setting your oven to 360°F (180°C) to ensure muffins rise properly.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the large egg, honey, thick Greek yogurt, pure vanilla extract, and extra-virgin olive oil; whisk ingredients together thoroughly until smooth.

Gently add the plain flour, vanilla-flavored protein powder, baking powder, and baking soda into the bowl with the wet ingredients, stirring only until just incorporated.

Carefully fold the fresh blueberries into the batter using a spatula using a light hand to avoid crushing them.

Spoon the batter into a lined muffin pan, dividing it evenly to create 12 muffins, and bake in the center of the oven for 15 to 20 minutes.
Let the muffins rest in the pan for about 5 minutes to set before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.

Notes

Avoid overmixing the batter, as this activates the gluten and results in tough, rubbery muffins rather than light and fluffy ones. Whey protein concentrate is generally the best choice for this recipe to ensure a moist, bakery-style texture.
