Ingredients
Scale
Wet Ingredients
- 1 cup plain flour
- 1/2 cup vanilla-flavored protein powder
- 1 tsp baking powder
- 1 tsp baking soda
Blueberries
- 10 oz fresh blueberries
Instructions
- Whisk Wet Ingredients: Combine the wet ingredients thoroughly until the mixture is smooth and well blended, ensuring an even base for your muffins.
- Add Dry Ingredients: Add 1 cup plain flour, 1/2 cup vanilla-flavored protein powder, 1 tsp baking powder, and 1 tsp baking soda to the wet mixture. Stir gently just until all dry ingredients are incorporated. Avoid overmixing to prevent dense muffins.
- Fold in Blueberries: Carefully fold 10 oz fresh blueberries into the batter using a spatula or spoon. Be gentle to avoid crushing the berries and making the muffins purple or mushy. Mix just enough to distribute blueberries evenly.
- Portion Batter and Bake: Spoon the blueberry batter evenly into a lined muffin pan to make 12 regular-sized muffins. Place in the center of a preheated oven and bake for 15-20 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
- Cool and Serve: Remove the muffin pan from the oven and allow the muffins to rest for a few minutes. Then transfer them to a wire rack or serving plate to cool slightly. This step helps maintain their shape and makes them easier to handle.
Notes
- Do not overmix the batter to keep muffins light and fluffy.
- Folding blueberries gently preserves their shape and juicy texture.
- Check muffins early at 15 minutes to avoid overbaking and dryness.
- Use fresh blueberries for the best flavor; frozen can be used but might affect texture.
- Line muffin pan with paper liners for easy removal and cleanup.
