Ingredients & What They Actually Do
I like to keep things simple—but also, knowing why each ingredient matters? Game changer.
Dry Ingredients
- 2 cups vanilla protein powder
This is the backbone. It adds structure and bumps up the protein.
(Whey isolate = lighter muffins, plant-based = more dense and hearty) - 1 ½ cups almond flour
Gives moisture and that soft, tender crumb. Plus, it keeps things gluten-free. - 1 teaspoon baking powder
Helps the muffins rise nicely. - ½ teaspoon baking soda
Works with the yogurt to create that fluffy texture. - ½ teaspoon salt
Balances everything—don’t skip it.
Wet Ingredients
- 3 large eggs
They hold everything together and add richness. - 1 cup plain Greek yogurt
This is key. It adds creaminess, moisture, and extra protein. - ½ cup pure maple syrup
Natural sweetness with a warm, cozy flavor. - 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Adds depth and makes everything taste better (seriously).
Add-Ins
- 1 cup fresh blueberries
Little bursts of juicy sweetness in every bite. Fresh works best, but frozen is fine too.
Streusel Topping (The Best Part, Let’s Be Honest)
- ½ cup almond flour
Creates that crumbly topping. - 2 tablespoons melted coconut oil
Gives it that classic streusel texture. - 2 tablespoons maple syrup
Light sweetness without overpowering. - ½ teaspoon cinnamon
Adds warmth and that bakery-style vibe.
