Strawberry Protein Muffins
Strawberry Protein Muffins use oat flour and plant-based vanilla protein powder as the foundation for a flavorful and moist muffin. The inclusion of Greek yogurt and egg whites adds tenderness and protein, while coconut sugar and vanilla deliver a subtle sweetness. Chopped strawberries and mini chocolate chips mix into the batter for a fresh fruity note with a touch of chocolate. The muffins bake to a golden finish with lightly browned edges and a tender crumb.
Ingredients
- 1 cup oat flour
- ¼ cup plant-based vanilla protein powder
- ½ teaspoon baking soda
- pinch cinnamon
- pinch salt sea salt
- ¾ cup egg white
- ½ cup Greek yogurt plain or vanilla, non-fat
- ¼ cup coconut sugar
- 2 Tablespoons almond milk unsweetened vanilla
- 1 Tablespoon coconut oil melted
- 1 Tablespoon lemon juice
- lemon zest of ½
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- ½ cup strawberries chopped into tiny pieces, plus more for topping
- ¼ cup mini chocolate chips
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350°F and line a muffin tin with paper or silicone liners and spray with non-stick spray. Make sure you spray the liners (paper or silicone) or the muffins will stick.
- Combine all dry ingredients together.
- Mix in all wet ingredients. Stir until smooth and blended, then lightly stir in strawberries and chocolate chips.
- Place batter evenly in muffin tin. The batter should fill 12 muffin cups. Drop 3-5 mini chocolate chips on top of each muffin. Bake for 23-25 minutes or until the edges are starting to brown and the muffins are baked through. Test with a toothpick.
- Remove from the oven, let muffins sit for 5 minutes, then use a knife to go around the edge of each muffin and gently remove them from the tin and place on a flat surface to cool.
- Once they cool, they'll be firm and ready to eat!
- Place in a sealed container and store at room temperature or in the fridge for longer storage.
Notes
- Spray muffin liners with non-stick spray to prevent sticking when baking.
- Use stevia baking blend or packets instead of coconut sugar for a lower sugar version.
- Dairy-free yogurt can substitute Greek yogurt if needed without affecting texture significantly.
