Ingredients

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 350°F (175°C) 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 according to your preference; if using frozen, do not thaw to avoid bleeding of colors into the batter.
  • For a gluten-free option, ensure the oats and protein powder are certified gluten-free.
  • Adjust sweetness by substituting erythritol with honey or maple syrup according to taste and dietary needs.
  • Allow muffins to cool in the tin for 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to avoid breaking.
