These healthy blueberry oat muffins are packed with protein and contain no added sugar, making them a perfect quick and wholesome breakfast or snack option.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 1/2 cups (135g) rolled oats
  • 1/2 cup (50g) vanilla whey or plant-based protein powder
  • 1 medium ripe banana, mashed
  • 2 large eggs, at room temperature
  • 1/2 cup (120g) plain Greek yogurt
  • 1 cup (150g) fresh blueberries
  • 1 1/2 tsp baking powder
  • 1 tsp cinnamon
  • 1/4 tsp sea salt
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 1/4 cup (60ml) unsweetened almond milk

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease or line your muffin tin with paper liners.
  2. Place the rolled oats in a food processor or blender and pulse until you get a fine, flour-like consistency (about 30 seconds). Measure out 1 cup (90g) and set aside.
  3. In a large bowl, combine the oat flour, protein powder, baking powder, cinnamon, and salt. Whisk lightly to distribute evenly.
  4. In another bowl, mash the ripe banana with a fork until smooth but still slightly chunky. Add the eggs, Greek yogurt, almond milk, and vanilla extract. Whisk well until fully combined.
  5. Pour the wet ingredients into the dry mixture. Using a spatula, gently fold until just combined. Avoid overmixing.
  6. Carefully fold in the fresh blueberries, reserving a few to sprinkle on top.
  7. Scoop the batter evenly into the prepared muffin cups, filling about three-quarters full. Sprinkle the reserved blueberries on top.
  8. Bake for 20-25 minutes, starting to check at 20 minutes by inserting a toothpick in the center; it should come out clean or with a few moist crumbs.
  9. Let the muffins cool in the tin for 5 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.

Notes

Do not overmix the batter to avoid dense muffins. Use ripe bananas for natural sweetness. Toss frozen blueberries in oat flour before folding in to prevent color bleeding. Check oven temperature with a thermometer for best results. Variations include gluten-free oats and protein powder, vegan substitutions with flax eggs and plant-based yogurt, and flavor twists like nuts or lemon zest.
