Ingredients

  • 2 cups oat flour
  • 60 g vanilla whey protein powder
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/2 teaspoon fine sea salt
  • 1/2 cup plain non-fat Greek yogurt
  • 2 large eggs , room temperature
  • 1/3 cup pure maple syrup
  • 1/4 cup unsweetened almond milk
  • 2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
  • 1 tablespoon lemon zest
  • 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
  • 1 cup fresh blueberries

Instructions

  • Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a 12-cup muffin tin with parchment liners.
  • In a large bowl, whisk together the oat flour, protein powder, baking powder, baking soda, and salt until no clumps remain.
  • In a separate medium bowl, whisk the Greek yogurt, eggs, maple syrup, almond milk, lemon juice, lemon zest, and vanilla extract until well emulsified.
  • Create a well in the dry ingredients and pour in the wet mixture, stirring with a spatula until just incorporated.
  • Gently fold the fresh blueberries into the batter, taking care not to overwork the dough or crush the berries.
  • Divide the batter evenly among the 12 muffin cups, filling each approximately three-quarters full.
  • Bake in the center rack for 18 to 22 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of a muffin comes out clean.
  • Remove from the oven and allow muffins to rest in the pan for 5 minutes before transferring to a wire cooling rack.
