High Protein Blueberry Streusel Muffins

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.
