# Expert Suggestions:

01 -
  • The Greek yogurt keeps these incredibly moist while adding 7 grams of protein per muffin
  • They freeze beautifully so you can bake once and breakfast all week
  • The protein powder disappears into the flavor without any chalky aftertaste
02 -
  • Overmixing makes protein muffins tough—use a light hand and stop as soon as flour disappears
  • Frozen blueberries actually work better than fresh because they hold their shape during baking
  • These taste even better the next day as flavors have time to develop and settle
03 -
  • Use vanilla protein powder that you actually enjoy drinking—flavor comes through
  • The flour coating on blueberries is non-negotiable for even distribution
  • Weighing your flour and protein powder eliminates guesswork and improves consistency
