These Greek Yogurt Protein Muffins are a nutritious, protein-packed treat, perfect for breakfast, post-workout, or a quick snack. With the richness of Greek yogurt and the natural sweetness of bananas or applesauce, these muffins are moist and satisfying.

Ingredients

1 large egg

⅔ cup (180 g) Greek yogurt, 2% fat or full fat recommended

4 oz (115 g) ripe banana, or ½ cup (120 g) applesauce

⅓ cup (80 ml) maple syrup, or honey

1 ½ cups (150 g) oat flour, or almond flour

½ cup (50 g) protein powder

2 tsp baking powder

1 tsp vanilla extract

⅙ tsp salt

3 to 6 tbsp milk of choice

¼ cup (50 g) dark chocolate chips, optional

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a muffin tin with paper liners or grease it lightly.
  2. In a large bowl, whisk together the egg, Greek yogurt, banana (or applesauce), maple syrup (or honey), and vanilla extract.
  3. In another bowl, combine the oat flour (or almond flour), protein powder, baking powder, and salt. Mix until fully incorporated.
  4. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, stirring until just combined. If the batter seems too thick, add 3 to 6 tablespoons of milk, depending on your desired consistency.
  5. Fold in the chocolate chips (if using).
  6. Divide the batter evenly into the muffin tin, filling each cup about ¾ full.
  7. Bake for 18-22 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of the muffins comes out clean.
  8. Let the muffins cool in the tin for 5 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.

Notes

If you don’t have oat flour, you can substitute with almond flour or a gluten-free all-purpose flour.

Maple syrup or honey can be used as a sweetener, depending on preference.

You can replace the banana with applesauce or other fruits like berries or mashed sweet potatoes for a different flavor.

Use whey, plant-based, or collagen protein powder based on dietary preferences.

For a healthier option, use dark chocolate chips or skip them entirely.

These muffins freeze well and can be stored for up to 3 months in a freezer-safe bag.
