Ingredients
  

  • 1 cup plain Greek yogurt preferably non-fat or low-fat
  • 1 cup rolled oats old-fashioned for better texture
  • 1 cup unsweetened almond milk or any milk of choice
  • 1/2 cup honey or maple syrup for vegan option
  • 1 cup whole wheat flour for added fiber
  • 1 scoop vanilla protein powder whey or plant-based
  • 2 teaspoons baking powder for leavening
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking soda to enhance rise
  • 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon for flavor
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt to balance sweetness
  • optional add-ins like blueberries or chopped nuts

Instructions
 

  • Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a muffin tin with paper liners or grease it with cooking spray.
  • In a large mixing bowl, combine the Greek yogurt, almond milk, honey, and vanilla protein powder. Mix until smooth and well combined.
  • In a separate bowl, whisk together the rolled oats, whole wheat flour, baking powder, baking soda, cinnamon, and salt until evenly mixed.
  • Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, stirring gently until just combined. Be careful not to overmix; a few lumps are okay.
  • If using, fold in your choice of add-ins like blueberries or nuts at this stage.
  • Scoop the batter evenly into the prepared muffin tin, filling each cup about 3/4 full.
  • Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
  • Allow the muffins to cool in the tin for 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.

Notes

Tip 1: For extra moisture, consider adding a mashed banana or applesauce to the batter.
Tip 2: Store muffins in an airtight container in the fridge for up to a week or freeze for longer storage.
Variation: Try adding dark chocolate chips or a sprinkle of chia seeds for added nutrition.
