Description

These Greek Yogurt Protein Muffins are a wholesome and delicious treat perfect for breakfast or a snack. Packed with protein from Greek yogurt and eggs, naturally sweetened with honey or maple syrup, and made with oat flour, these muffins offer a healthy yet indulgent option. Optional add-ins like chocolate chips or berries add extra flavor and texture without compromising the nutritious profile.

Ingredients

Scale

Wet Ingredients

  • 1 cup Greek yogurt
  • 2 eggs
  • 1/4 cup honey or maple syrup
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract

Dry Ingredients

  • 1 1/2 cups oat flour
  • 1 tsp baking powder
  • 1/2 tsp baking soda
  • 1/2 tsp cinnamon

Optional Add-Ins

  • 1/2 cup chocolate chips or berries

Instructions

  1. Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and prepare a muffin tin by lining it with paper liners. This ensures easy removal and cleanup.
  2. Mix Wet Ingredients: In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the Greek yogurt, eggs, honey (or maple syrup), and vanilla extract until the mixture is smooth and well combined.
  3. Add Dry Ingredients: Sprinkle in the oat flour, baking powder, baking soda, and cinnamon into the wet mixture. Stir gently to combine until just blended, taking care not to overmix.
  4. Fold in Add-ins: If using, fold in the chocolate chips or berries to distribute them evenly throughout the batter without breaking them up.
  5. Fill Muffin Tin: Evenly divide the batter among the lined muffin cups, filling each about 3/4 full to allow room for rising.
  6. Bake: Place the muffin tin in the preheated oven and bake for 18 to 20 minutes. To check doneness, insert a toothpick into the center of a muffin; if it comes out clean, the muffins are ready.
  7. Cool: Remove the muffins from the oven and let them cool in the tin for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely. Enjoy warm or at room temperature.

Notes

  • Use Greek yogurt for added protein and moisture.
  • Oat flour can be homemade by grinding rolled oats in a food processor.
  • For a dairy-free option, use a plant-based yogurt and adjust eggs accordingly.
  • The muffins freeze well; store in an airtight container for up to one month.
  • Adjust honey or maple syrup quantity for sweetness preference.
  • Adding berries will increase moisture, so don’t add extra liquid.
