Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 60 grams Whey protein powder (vanilla flavor)
- 120 grams All-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon Baking powder
- 0.5 teaspoon Baking soda
- 0.25 teaspoon Salt
- 120 grams Greek yogurt (plain, non-fat)
- 2 Eggs (large)
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 60 milliliters Unsweetened almond milk
- 30 milliliters Coconut oil (melted)
- 60 grams Honey (or maple syrup for a refined sugar-free option)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 180°C (350°F) and line a 12-cup muffin tin with paper liners or grease it lightly with cooking spray.
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the whey protein powder, all-purpose flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt until well combined.
In a separate medium bowl, whisk together the Greek yogurt, eggs, vanilla extract, almond milk, melted coconut oil, and honey until smooth.
Gradually pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients, stirring gently with a spatula or spoon until just combined. Do not overmix; a few lumps are okay.
Spoon the batter evenly into the prepared muffin tin, filling each cup about 3/4 full.
Bake in the preheated oven for 16–18 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of a muffin comes out clean.
Remove the muffins from the oven and let them cool in the tin for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Enjoy immediately or store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days. They can also be frozen for up to 2 months; simply thaw at room temperature before serving.
