Gluten-Free Blueberry Protein Muffins
Description
This muffin recipe starts with almond flour blended with gluten-free baking flour and collagen powder, creating a protein-enriched base. Adding wet ingredients including egg, vanilla extract, coconut yogurt, and maple syrup contributes moisture and subtle sweetness. Fresh blueberries are folded in gently to distribute evenly without breaking. Baking powder gives the muffins rise during baking at 350°F for 22 minutes.
The muffins are delicate and need to cool fully before removal from silicone molds to avoid crumbling. Their texture is moist and tender, with the almond flour adding richness and a slight nuttiness. These muffins serve as a gluten-free, protein-enhanced breakfast or snack option, balancing flavor and nutrition.
Storing them in the fridge may increase moisture slightly but does not compromise quality. Using silicone baking molds helps maintain shape for easier handling. The recipe yields about four servings with roughly two tablespoons each, making them suitable for portion control or meal prepping.
