Ingredients You’ll Need

This recipe uses mostly pantry staples you likely have right now. Fresh blueberries add a bright pop of flavor to every bite.

2 cups oat flour
2 scoops (60g) vanilla whey protein powder
1 tablespoon baking powder
0.25 teaspoon salt
1 cup non-fat Greek yogurt
2 large eggs
0.5 cup unsweetened almond milk
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
0.5 cup fresh blueberries
2 tablespoons sugar-free maple syrup

Step-by-Step

Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C) and coat a jumbo muffin tin or six 6-ounce ramekins with non-stick cooking spray.
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the oat flour, vanilla protein powder, baking powder, and salt.
In a medium bowl, whisk the Greek yogurt, eggs, almond milk, and vanilla extract until the mixture is homogenous.
Fold the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients using a spatula until just combined; avoid over-aerating the batter.
Divide the batter equally among the prepared tins or ramekins, filling each approximately three-quarters full.
Distribute the blueberries evenly across the top of each bowl.
Bake for 18 to 22 minutes, or until the centers are set and a toothpick inserted comes out clean.
Cool in the pan for 5 minutes before serving warm or storing for meal prep.

Best Ways to Enjoy It

Serve these warm with a drizzle of maple syrup. They look stunning in individual ramekins for a winter brunch. Pair them with a hot cup of coffee for bliss.

Keep It Fresh

Store these in an airtight container in the fridge. They stay fresh for up to five days. You can also freeze them for a grab-and-go meal. Just pop them in the microwave for 30 seconds.

Pro Tips

Use a jumbo muffin tin if you lack ramekins.
Don’t over-mix the batter to keep them light.
Check for doneness with a simple toothpick test.
Spray your containers well so they don’t stick.
Let them cool slightly before you start eating.
Use room temperature eggs for a better rise.

Ways to Switch It Up

Swap blueberries for dark chocolate chips.
Add a dash of cinnamon for warmth.
Use strawberry slices for a bright twist.
Mix in some chopped walnuts for extra crunch.

FAQs

Can I use different protein powder?

Yes, but whey protein usually works best here. Casein might make the texture a bit drier.

What if I don’t have oat flour?
