Tips & FAQs
Can I use frozen blueberries?
Yes. Add them directly from frozen and toss them in flour first to prevent sinking.
What protein powder works best?
Vanilla whey or a high-quality plant-based protein powder both work well.
Can I make these gluten-free?
Yes. Use certified gluten-free oat flour and verify that your protein powder is gluten-free.
Why are my muffins dense?
Overmixing the batter can make protein muffins heavy. Stir only until ingredients are combined.
