Pro Tips

• Do not overmix the batter or the muffins will be tough.
• Toss berries in a teaspoon of flour to prevent sinking.
• Use a high-quality whey protein for the best texture results.
• Check for doneness at 18 minutes to avoid drying them out.
• Make sure your eggs are at room temperature for better mixing.
• Let them cool completely before storing to prevent soggy bottoms.

Ways to Switch It Up

• Swap blueberries for fresh raspberries for a tart twist.
• Add a teaspoon of lemon zest for a bright spring flavor.
• Sprinkle a few hemp seeds on top for extra crunch.
• Use chocolate protein powder for a decadent dessert-style muffin.

FAQs

Can I use frozen blueberries?

Yes, but do not thaw them before adding to the batter. Thawed berries will bleed and turn your muffins entirely purple.

Can I use plant-based protein powder?

Plant-based powders absorb more liquid than whey protein does. You may need to add an extra splash of almond milk.

What if I don’t have oat flour?

You can make your own by blending dry oats in a blender. Pulse until it reaches a fine, flour-like consistency.

Go grab those berries and start baking! You deserve a breakfast that works as hard as you do.
