In a large mixing bowl, combine whole wheat flour, whey protein powder, instant yeast, salt, and sweetener. Stir well to distribute the dry ingredients evenly.
In another bowl, whisk together the warm milk, egg white, and melted butter until well combined.
Gradually add the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients, mixing with a wooden spoon or spatula until a sticky dough forms.
Cover the bowl with a clean cloth and let the dough rise in a warm, draft-free place for about 1 hour or until doubled in size.
Once the dough has risen, gently fold the blueberries into the dough, being careful not to burst them.
Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured work surface. Pat the dough into a disc approximately 1/2-inch thick.
Using a round cutter or the edge of a glass (approximately 3 inches in diameter), cut out muffins from the dough, re-rolling any scraps to use all the dough.
Dust a large baking sheet with cornmeal and place the cut dough rounds on it. Cover lightly with plastic wrap and let them rest for about 15 minutes.
Preheat a griddle or non-stick skillet over medium-low heat. Carefully transfer the muffins to the skillet and cook for about 6-7 minutes on each side, or until they are golden brown and cooked through.
Transfer the cooked muffins to a wire rack to cool slightly before serving. Serve warm with your favorite toppings.
