Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup All-purpose flour
- 0.75 cup Whey protein powder (vanilla flavored)
- 1 tablespoon Baking powder
- 0.25 teaspoon Baking soda
- 0.25 teaspoon Salt
- 0.75 cup Unsweetened almond milk
- 0.5 cup Greek yogurt
- 0.25 cup Fresh lemon juice
- 1 tablespoon Lemon zest
- 0.25 cup Honey
- 2 large Eggs
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a 12-cup muffin tin with paper liners or lightly grease with cooking spray.
In a large bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, protein powder, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
In another bowl, mix the almond milk, Greek yogurt, lemon juice, lemon zest, honey, eggs, and vanilla extract until well combined.
Gently fold the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients using a spatula or a wooden spoon, stirring just until no dry spots remain. Be careful not to overmix.
Divide the batter evenly among the prepared muffin cups, filling each about three-quarters full.
Bake for 18-20 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of a muffin comes out clean or with a few moist crumbs.
Remove from the oven and let cool in the pan for 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.
Enjoy these muffins as a protein-packed breakfast or snack!
