Healthy Greek Yogurt Blueberry Protein Muffins

Healthy Greek yogurt blueberry protein muffins are my favorite way to start the day when I want something sweet and satisfying and I still want to stay on track with my healthy habits and feel energized. One morning after a workout, I was craving a bakery-style muffin but didn’t want all the extra sugar and butter and I decided to experiment with Greek yogurt and protein powder and fresh blueberries and that first batch turned out so delicious that I started making them every week and now they’re a regular part of my meal prep routine.

I love how these muffins are extra moist thanks to the Greek yogurt and the juicy blueberries add the perfect pop of sweetness and they’re so fluffy and light that you wouldn’t even guess they’re packed with protein and every bite feels like a treat but still keeps me full and fueled and they’re so easy to grab on busy mornings or enjoy as a quick afternoon snack and I always get excited when I see them waiting for me in the fridge.

Ingredients

• Here’s what I love to use for these muffins. You can adjust them to fit your taste!
• Greek yogurt – Makes the muffins moist and adds a boost of protein.
• Blueberries – Add natural sweetness and bursts of juicy flavor.
• Eggs – Help bind everything and add fluffiness.
• Vanilla protein powder – Adds extra protein to keep you full longer.
• Whole wheat or oat flour – The base that makes the muffins hearty and wholesome.
• Honey or maple syrup – Natural sweetener that keeps them just sweet enough.
• Baking powder & baking soda – Help the muffins rise beautifully.
• Cinnamon – Adds warmth and extra flavor.
• Vanilla extract – Enhances the sweetness and aroma.
• Salt – Balances all the flavors perfectly.
• Olive oil or melted coconut oil – Adds moisture and softness.

Tools You’ll Need

• Mixing bowls – One for wet ingredients, one for dry ingredients.
• Whisk – To mix everything smoothly and evenly.
• Spatula – For folding in the blueberries gently.
• Muffin tin – To bake the muffins to perfection.
• Paper liners or nonstick spray – To prevent sticking and make cleanup easier.
• Measuring cups and spoons – For accurate ingredient portions.

Instructions

Step 1

I start by preheating my oven to 350°F so it’s nice and hot when the batter is ready.

Step 2

In a large bowl, I whisk together the Greek yogurt, eggs, honey or maple syrup, oil, and vanilla extract until smooth.

Step 3

In another bowl, I mix the flour, protein powder, baking powder, baking soda, cinnamon, and salt.

Step 4

I slowly add the dry ingredients into the wet ingredients, stirring gently until just combined to avoid overmixing.

Step 5

I carefully fold in the blueberries, making sure they’re evenly distributed without breaking them too much.

Step 6

I divide the batter evenly among the lined muffin cups, filling each about 3/4 full.

Step 7

Finally, I bake them for 18–22 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean, and let them cool before enjoying.

Tips

If you want to mix it up, I sometimes add lemon zest for a bright twist. You can also use raspberries or chopped strawberries instead of blueberries. And if you want even more texture, a sprinkle of chopped nuts or oats on top before baking is delicious!

Ways to Serve

I love grabbing these muffins for a quick breakfast on the go with a cup of coffee. They’re also great as a pre- or post-workout snack, or as a sweet treat in a lunchbox. Sometimes I slice them in half and spread a little almond or peanut butter for an extra boost.
