# How to Make It:

02 - In a medium bowl, whisk together flour, protein powder, baking powder, baking soda, and salt until well blended.
03 - In a large bowl, whisk Greek yogurt, eggs, milk, oil, sugar, and vanilla extract until smooth and fully incorporated.
04 - Add dry ingredients to wet mixture. Stir gently with a spatula until just combined, being careful not to overmix.
05 - Toss blueberries with 1 tablespoon flour in a small bowl to prevent sinking during baking.
06 - Gently fold coated blueberries into the batter until evenly distributed.
07 - Divide batter evenly among muffin cups, filling each approximately 3/4 full.
08 - Bake for 18-22 minutes until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
09 - Let muffins cool in pan for 5 minutes, then transfer to wire rack to cool completely.

# Expert Advice:

01 -
  • They taste like bakery muffins but pack 7 grams of protein each, keeping you full for hours
  • The Greek yogurt makes them incredibly moist without needing tons of butter or oil
02 -
  • Overmixing is the enemy of tender muffins, so stir as little as possible once you add the dry ingredients
  • Protein powder varies wildly between brands, so if your batter seems too thick, add another splash of milk
03 -
  • Sprinkle coarse sugar on top before baking for that bakery crunch that makes people think you bought them
  • Room temperature eggs incorporate more easily, so set them out while you gather other ingredients
