These tender, protein-packed muffins are a family favorite, known as purple dot muffins. They are a nutritious, grab-and-go breakfast or snack made with simple ingredients like Greek yogurt and whole wheat flour.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 ¾ cups white whole wheat flour
  • ½ cup vanilla protein powder
  • 1 ½ teaspoons baking powder
  • ½ teaspoon baking soda
  • ¼ teaspoon salt
  • 2 large eggs, room temperature
  • 1 cup plain Greek yogurt
  • ⅓ cup pure maple syrup or honey
  • ⅓ cup unsweetened applesauce
  • ¼ cup milk
  • 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
  • 1 ½ cups fresh or frozen blueberries
  • Optional: 1-2 tablespoons rolled oats for topping

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a 12-cup muffin tin with liners or grease well.
  2. In a large bowl, whisk together flour, protein powder, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. If using frozen blueberries, toss them with 1 tablespoon of this flour mixture in a separate small bowl.
  3. In a medium bowl, whisk the eggs until smooth. Add Greek yogurt, maple syrup, applesauce, milk, and vanilla extract. Whisk until completely smooth and creamy.
  4. Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients. Gently fold together with a spatula until just combined; do not overmix.
  5. Gently fold in the blueberries until evenly distributed.
  6. Divide batter evenly among the 12 muffin cups, filling each about ¾ full. Sprinkle tops with rolled oats if desired.
  7. Bake for 18-22 minutes, or until tops are golden and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
  8. Let muffins cool in the pan for 5 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.

Notes

For frozen blueberries, do not thaw; toss in flour first to prevent sinking. Muffins freeze well for up to 3 months. Protein powder can be whey or plant-based; if omitted, replace with an equal amount of oat flour.
