A healthy, protein-packed breakfast muffin that tastes like fluffy pancakes baked into convenient grab-and-go portions, perfect for meal prep and busy mornings.

Ingredients

  • 1 cup oats or oat flour
  • 1 scoop (about 30g) protein powder
  • 2 large eggs
  • 3/4 cup milk (or dairy-free milk)
  • 2 tsp baking powder
  • 1 medium banana (mashed) or 1/2 cup applesauce
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 1/4 tsp salt
  • 1/2 cup optional add-ins (blueberries, chocolate chips, or peanut butter)

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 180°C (350°F) and prepare a muffin tin with liners or light oil spray.
  2. In a bowl, mix oats (or oat flour), protein powder, baking powder, and salt.
  3. In a separate bowl, whisk eggs, milk, mashed banana or applesauce, and vanilla extract.
  4. Combine wet and dry ingredients and stir until a smooth batter forms. Add a splash of milk if too thick.
  5. Fold in optional add-ins like blueberries or chocolate chips.
  6. Divide batter evenly into the muffin tin, filling each cup about 3/4 full.
  7. Bake for 15–20 minutes, or until muffins are set and lightly golden on top.
  8. Allow muffins to cool before removing from the tin.

Notes

  • Do not overbake to keep muffins moist.
  • Adjust liquid depending on protein powder type (plant-based may need more milk).
  • Banana can be replaced with applesauce or yogurt for moisture.
  • Great for meal prep and can be customized with different flavors.
  • Let muffins cool completely before storing to avoid sogginess.
