Step-by-Step Directions for Homemade Blueberry Protein Muffins
Step 1: Prep Your Oven and Muffin Tin
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a 12-cup muffin tin with paper liners or lightly grease with nonstick spray.
Step 2: Mix Wet Ingredients
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs, Greek yogurt, almond milk, coconut oil, sugar, and vanilla extract until smooth and creamy.
Step 3: Combine Dry Ingredients
In a separate bowl, blend the oat flour, protein powder, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
Step 4: Make the Batter
Gradually add the dry mixture to the wet ingredients. Stir gently until just combined. Fold in the blueberries, being careful not to overmix.
Step 5: Fill Muffin Tins & Bake
Divide the batter evenly among the muffin cups, filling each about ¾ full (top with a few extra blueberries if you like). Bake for 18-22 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
Step 6: Cool and Enjoy
Let muffins cool in the pan for 5 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely. Enjoy warm or at room temperature!

Notes for Perfect Homemade Blueberry Protein Muffins
- Toss blueberries in 1 tablespoon flour to prevent them from sinking to the bottom.
