Ingredients
Scale
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 1/2 cup protein powder (whey or plant-based)
- 1/4 cup granulated sugar
- 2 teaspoons baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 cup Greek yogurt
- 1/4 cup milk
- 1/4 cup vegetable oil
- 2 large eggs
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a muffin tin with paper liners or grease it well.
- In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, protein powder, sugar, baking powder, and salt.
- In a separate medium bowl, whisk together the Greek yogurt, milk, vegetable oil, eggs, and vanilla extract until well combined.
- Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and stir until just combined. Be careful not to overmix; a few lumps are okay.
- Divide the batter evenly among the prepared muffin cups, filling each about two-thirds full.
- Bake for 18-20 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of a muffin comes out clean.
- Let the muffins cool in the tin for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Notes
- For extra moisture, you can add 1/4 cup of unsweetened applesauce to the wet ingredients.
- Feel free to add mix-ins like berries, chocolate chips, or nuts to the batter before baking.
- Ensure your protein powder is unflavored or a flavor that complements your muffins.
