Notes
- Any non-dairy yogurt should work. I’ve used both almond yogurt as well as coconut yogurt. Opt for unflavored. However, I’m not sure how dairy-free Greek yogurt would work as it’s much thicker.
- Though you can’t substitute whey protein for vegan protein, you should be able to swap out flavors. Peanut butter chocolate chip protein muffins would be delicious too!
- These protein powder muffins are best stored in the fridge in an airtight container. Like this, they'll last 5-7 days.
- The muffins taste best fresh or at room temperature. When stored in the fridge, let them sit at room temp before eating.
- The batter will be thick. You need to scoop it into the muffin tins (it won't pour). This is normal!
- Opt for silicone muffin cups if possible. The paper muffin cups won't peel off as easy.
