Ingredients
- 1 1/4 cups fresh blueberries
- 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1/2 cup vanilla protein powder
- 1 tsp baking powder
- 3/4 tsp salt
- 1/2 tsp baking soda
- 6 tbsp unsalted butter melted
- 1 cup plain Greek yogurt I use full fat
- 2 large eggs
- 1/3 cup sugar
- 1/4 cup orange juice
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 425 degrees F.
- Line a muffin pan with 12 paper muffin liners.
- In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, protein powder, baking powder, baking soda and salt. Add the blueberries and lightly toss to coat the blueberries in the flour mixture.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together the eggs, melted butter, Greek yogurt, sugar, orange juice and vanilla until very smooth.
- Pour the wet ingredients into the large bowl with the flour and blueberry mixture. Use a rubber spatula to gently mix until the ingredients are combined and no streaks of flour remain. It is a very thick batter.
- Use a 4-tablespoon capacity muffin scoop to fill 12 paper muffin liners.
- Bake the muffins for 7 minutes at 425 degrees F. Without opening the oven door, lower the temperature to 350 degrees and continue baking for 3 minutes.
- Rotate the muffin pan from front to back and continue to bake at 350 for 10-12 more minutes. The muffins should spring back when lightly touched on top when they are done.
- Allow the muffins to cool in the pan for 5-10 minutes. They are delicious warm! Or cool completely on a wire rack for an additional 20 minutes.
