Ingredients
  

1 cup rolled oats

1 ½ cups almond flour

1 teaspoon baking powder

½ teaspoon baking soda

½ teaspoon salt

1 scoop vanilla protein powder (approximately 30g)

½ cup honey or maple syrup

¼ cup Greek yogurt

2 large eggs

1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Zest of 1 lemon

2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice

1 cup fresh or frozen blueberries

Instructions
 

Preheat the Oven: Start by preheating your oven to 350°F (175°C). Prepare a muffin tin by lining it with paper liners or applying a non-stick cooking spray to each compartment.

    Mix Dry Ingredients: In a large mixing bowl, combine the rolled oats, almond flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, and vanilla protein powder. Use a whisk or fork to stir thoroughly, ensuring that all dry components are evenly mixed and free of lumps.

      Combine Wet Ingredients: In a separate bowl, whisk together the honey (or maple syrup), Greek yogurt, eggs, vanilla extract, lemon zest, and fresh lemon juice. Continue whisking until the mixture is smooth and creamy, with no clumps remaining.

        Combine Wet and Dry Mix: Pour the wet mixture into the bowl containing the dry ingredients. Using a spatula, gently fold the mixtures together until just incorporated. Avoid overmixing, as this can make the muffins dense.

          Add Blueberries: Carefully fold the fresh or frozen blueberries into the batter, ensuring they are evenly distributed throughout the mixture without breaking them apart.

            Fill Muffin Tins: Spoon the batter into the prepared muffin tins, filling each compartment about ¾ full to allow for rising during baking.

              Bake the Muffins: Place the muffin tin in the preheated oven and bake for 18-22 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center of a muffin comes out clean or with a few moist crumbs.

                Cool: Once baked, remove the muffins from the oven and let them cool in the pan for approximately 5 minutes. After this, gently transfer the muffins to a wire rack to cool completely, which helps maintain their texture.

                  Serve: Relish your delightful blueberry lemon protein muffins! They make for a nutritious snack or a wonderful breakfast option. Store any leftovers in an airtight container for up to a week to keep them fresh.
