Ingredients

• 60 grams Whey protein powder (vanilla flavor)
• 120 grams All-purpose flour
• 1 teaspoon Baking powder
• 0.5 teaspoon Baking soda
• 0.25 teaspoon Salt
• 120 grams Greek yogurt (plain, non-fat)
• 2 Eggs (large)
• 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
• 60 milliliters Unsweetened almond milk
• 30 milliliters Coconut oil (melted)
• 60 grams Honey (or maple syrup for a refined sugar-free option)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 180°C (350°F) and line a 12-cup muffin tin with paper liners or grease it lightly with cooking spray.

Step 2

In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the whey protein powder, all-purpose flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt until well combined.

Step 3

In a separate medium bowl, whisk together the Greek yogurt, eggs, vanilla extract, almond milk, melted coconut oil, and honey until smooth.

Step 4

Gradually pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients, stirring gently with a spatula or spoon until just combined. Do not overmix; a few lumps are okay.

Step 5

Spoon the batter evenly into the prepared muffin tin, filling each cup about 3/4 full.

Step 6

Bake in the preheated oven for 16–18 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of a muffin comes out clean.

Step 7

Remove the muffins from the oven and let them cool in the tin for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.

Step 8

Enjoy immediately or store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days. They can also be frozen for up to 2 months; simply thaw at room temperature before serving.
