Ingredient Notes

Ingredients needed for blueberry protein muffins.

Plain Greek yogurt - any plain Greek yogurt will work. We like to use plain greek yogurt instead of sour cream for an extra protein boost.
Maple syrup - be sure to use pure maple syrup here.
Eggs - room temperature eggs will prevent the coconut oil from hardening.
Melted coconut oil or extra-virgin olive oil
Vanilla extract
Kodiak Cakes Power Mix - you can find this mix at your local grocery store in the pancake mix section. The mix makes delicious pancakes but we also love to bake with the mix to add protein. Their pancake mix is made with whole wheat flour and added protein.
Vanilla protein powder - Whey protein powder or plant-based protein powder will work. Truvani*, Clean Simple Eats*, and Just Ingredients are a few of our favorite options if you're looking to try different protein powders.
Baking powder
Baking soda
Salt
Ground cinnamon
Frozen blueberries - you can also use fresh blueberries if desired.

Rubber spatula

Step by Step Directions

For the full recipe instructions, scroll down to the recipe card at the bottom of the page.

A large mixing bowl with Greek yogurt, eggs, maple syrup, oil, and vanilla extract.

Preheat the oven to 375 degrees fahrenheit. In a large mixing bowl, add the greek yogurt, maple syrup, eggs, oil, and vanilla. Whisk until well combined.

A large mixing bowl with the dry ingredients added to the wet ingredients.

Next, add the dry ingredients. Add the 1 ¼ cups Kodiak Cakes Power Mix, vanilla protein powder, baking powder, baking soda, salt, and cinnamon to the wet ingredients. Mix until just combined.

A small bowl of frozen blueberries tossed with flour.

In a separate small bowl, add the blueberries and 1 tsp of Kodiak Cakes mix. Toss gently until the blueberries are coated in the mix.

Blueberries added to the large mixing bowl of muffin batter.

Gently fold the blueberries in to the batter. Don’t over mix.

Twelve muffin lined cups of a muffin tin filled with blueberry protein muffin batter.

Add muffin liners* to a muffin pan. Add muffin batter to each muffin cup, until it’s ¾ of the way filled. Bake for 16-20 minutes, or until the tops are lightly golden brown.

Tips & Variations

Be sure to mix the blueberries with 1 tsp of Kodiak Cakes mix. This will help prevent the blueberries from sinking to the bottom of the muffins.
Let the muffins cool completely before eating them if you don't want the muffin to stick to the muffin liner.
They're also delicious with butter & honey or peanut butter on them.
Looking to make them extra sweet? Add a few chocolate chips.
Serve these muffins with egg bites or a smoothie for a great breakfast.
