Can I use different protein powders in these protein muffin recipes?

Yes, absolutely! While the recipe suggests vanilla or unflavored, you can experiment with other types. Just be aware that different protein powders (whey, casein, plant-based) can absorb liquids differently and might slightly alter the texture. You may need to adjust the amount of milk in the recipe by a tablespoon or two to achieve the desired batter consistency. Also, flavored protein powders will impact the final taste of your protein muffins.

How long do protein muffins last and how should I store them?

These protein muffin recipes can be stored in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days. For longer freshness, store them in the refrigerator for up to 5 days. They also freeze exceptionally well for up to 3 months. Simply place them in a freezer-safe bag or container. Thaw at room temperature or reheat briefly in the microwave for a warm treat.

Ingredients

Scale

1.5 cups (180g) all-purpose flour
0.5 cup (50g) vanilla or unflavored protein powder (whey or plant-based)
2 tsp baking powder
0.5 tsp salt
0.5 tsp ground cinnamon
1 cup (240ml) unsweetened almond milk
0.5 cup (120ml) maple syrup
2 large eggs
0.25 cup (60ml) melted coconut oil (or other neutral oil)
1 tsp vanilla extract
1 cup (150g) mixed berries (fresh or frozen)

Instructions

Step 1: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a 12-cup muffin tin with paper liners or grease it well.
Step 2: In a large bowl, whisk together the dry ingredients: all-purpose flour, protein powder, baking powder, salt, and ground cinnamon. Ensure there are no lumps.
Step 3: In a separate medium bowl, whisk together the wet ingredients: unsweetened almond milk, maple syrup, eggs, melted coconut oil, and vanilla extract until well combined.
Step 4: Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients. Using a spatula, fold them together just until *barely* combined. A few lumps are fine; avoid overmixing.
Step 5: Gently fold in the mixed berries. If using frozen berries, you can lightly dust them with a tablespoon of flour before adding to prevent them from sinking.
Step 6: Divide the batter evenly among the 12 prepared muffin cups, filling each about two-thirds full.
Step 7: Bake for 18-22 minutes, or until a wooden skewer inserted into the center of a muffin comes out clean and the tops are golden brown. Ovens may vary, so keep an eye on them.
Step 8: Let the muffins cool in the tin for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely. Enjoy these delicious protein muffin recipes!
