Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 ½ cups (180g) all-purpose flour
  • 1 scoop (about 30g) vanilla protein powder
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • ½ teaspoon baking soda
  • ¼ teaspoon salt
  • ¾ cup (150g) granulated sugar
  • ½ cup (115g) unsalted butter, softened
  • 2 large eggs, room temperature
  • ½ cup (120g) Greek yogurt
  • ¼ cup (60ml) milk
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 cup (150g) fresh blueberries
  • 1 tablespoon flour (for tossing blueberries)

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Line your muffin tin with paper liners or lightly grease each cup.
  2. In a large mixing bowl, whisk together all-purpose flour, vanilla protein powder, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. Set aside.
  3. In a separate bowl, cream together softened unsalted butter and granulated sugar until light and fluffy, about 2-3 minutes.
  4. Add eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition. Stir in Greek yogurt, milk, and vanilla extract until smooth.
  5. Gently fold the dry ingredients into the wet mixture using a spatula, stopping as soon as the batter comes together.
  6. Toss fresh blueberries with flour to prevent sinking, then gently fold them into the batter.
  7. Use an ice cream scoop to divide the batter evenly among the muffin cups, filling each about ¾ full.
  8. Bake for 18-22 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
  9. Let the muffins cool in the tin for about 5 minutes, then transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely.

Notes

[‘Don’t overmix the batter to maintain fluffiness.’, ‘Toss blueberries in flour to prevent them from sinking.’, ‘Use room temperature ingredients for better blending and rise.’, ‘Test for doneness with a toothpick—it should come out clean or with a few crumbs.’]
