High Protein Blueberry Muffins
Make breakfast easy with high protein blueberry muffins! Perfect for a quick snack that does not compromise nutrition.
Ingredients
- 2 Eggs
- 1 Cup Cottage Cheese
- ¼ Cup Maple Syrup
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla Extract
- 1 Cup All Purpose Flour
- 1 scoop Vanilla Protein Powder can also use collagen
- 1 teaspoon Baking Soda
- 1 Cup Blueberries
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 325°F and line your muffin tin with your choice of muffin cups.
- Mix all the wet ingredients together in a large mixing bowl. This includes eggs, cottage cheese, maple syrup, and vanilla extract.
- Then mix the dry ingredients into the wet ingredients and whisk together until combined. This includes flour, vanilla protein powder, and baking soda.
- Add the blueberries to the muffin batter and gently fold it. Try not to burst too many blueberries while doing this.
- Scoop about 1.5 Tablespoons into each muffin cup (if not using muffin liners be sure to oil the muffin pan with avocado oil). Then put in the oven and bake for 25 minutes.
- Once the muffins are cooked through and slightly golden brown, remove them from the oven and let them cool on a wire rack. Then enjoy!
Notes
- Cottage Cheese: Trust me, I don't love cottage cheese either, but I still encourage you to try this recipe out! If it really isn't for you, full-fat Greek yogurt is a great substitute and can be swapped in equal amounts in this recipe. Plain Greek yogurt still provides a good amount of protein so this would still be considered a higher protein muffin recipe, even with this swap.
- Blueberries: If blueberries aren't in season, raspberries or finely chopped strawberries also work in this recipe, too!
- Protein powders: There are tons of different protein powders out there. Be sure to use your favorite and always be sure to look for a very short ingredient list, whether it is vegan protein powder or whey protein, it is important to know the ingredients in your protein powder. I really like Equip protein!
