# Instructions:
01 -
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a 12-cup muffin tin with paper liners or lightly grease each cup. This prepares your tin for the delicious Soft Blueberry Protein Muffins | Easy Meal Prep Recipe.
02 -
In a large bowl, whisk together 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour, 1/2 cup vanilla protein powder, 2 tsp baking powder, 1/2 tsp baking soda, and 1/4 tsp salt. Ensure no lumps remain for a smooth batter.
03 -
In a separate medium bowl, whisk together 3/4 cup unsweetened almond milk, 2 large eggs, 1/4 cup neutral oil, 1 tsp vanilla extract, and 1/2 cup granulated sugar until well combined and smooth.
04 -
Pour the wet ingredient mixture into the dry ingredients. Stir gently with a spatula until just combined. Be careful not to overmix; a few small lumps are perfectly fine for these Soft Blueberry Protein Muffins | Easy Meal Prep Recipe.
05 -
Gently fold in 1 1/2 cups fresh or frozen blueberries and 1 tbsp lemon zest into the batter. Distribute them evenly without crushing the berries. This step adds the burst of flavor to your muffins.
06 -
Divide the batter evenly among the 12 prepared muffin cups, filling each about two-thirds full. This ensures consistent baking for your Soft Blueberry Protein Muffins | Easy Meal Prep Recipe.
07 -
Bake for 18-22 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of a muffin comes out clean. The tops should be golden brown and springy to the touch.
08 -
Let the muffins cool in the tin for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely. Enjoy these delicious Soft Blueberry Protein Muffins | Easy Meal Prep Recipe warm or at room temperature.
# Notes:
01 -
Store leftover muffins in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days, or freeze for up to 3 months for a quick grab-and-go breakfast.
02 -
Feel free to swap almond milk for any milk of choice (dairy or non-dairy). For the oil, melted coconut oil or unsweetened applesauce can also work.
03 -
Do not overmix the batter! Overmixing develops gluten, leading to tough muffins. A few lumps are perfectly fine and will result in a tender crumb.
04 -
For an extra treat, warm a muffin slightly and spread with a dollop of Greek yogurt or a sprinkle of chopped nuts.
