These super easy High Protein Blueberry Muffins are moist, fruity, and perfect for snacking! Alongside the classic flavors of fresh blueberries, zesty lemon, and vanilla, whey protein powder and cottage cheese up the protein in this simple muffin recipe.

Why You’ll Love This Recipe

  • These High Protein Blueberry Muffins taste just like your favorite muffin recipe, packed with fresh fruit and with a cinnamon crumb topping – they just have more protein!
  • There are 7g of protein in each muffin, making them a great breakfast option. You won’t even notice the protein powder, so they’re a great pick if you don’t like the flavor in shakes and smoothies.
  • The muffins themselves are naturally sweetened with maple syrup. The topping has sugar in it, but it can easily be swapped for Swerve.

Chef’s Tips

  • Muffins are best enjoyed the day they are made, but like regular blueberry muffins they can be frozen for up to a month. It’s the perfect excuse to make a double batch!
  • Use this recipe as a base for any high protein berry muffin! Raspberries or blackberries would be delicious in the summer.

Equipment

  • 12-cup muffin pan
  • paper or silicone liners

Instructions 

  • Preheat oven to 350°F and position the rack in the middle.
  • Line a 12-cup muffin pan with paper or silicone liners; set aside.
  • In a small bowl, toss blueberries with 1 tsp flour and a pinch of cinnamon.
  • In a large mixing bowl, whisk together flour, protein powder, salt, baking powder, and baking soda.
  • In a separate large mixing bowl, whisk maple syrup, avocado oil, vanilla extract, and eggs until smooth and combined. Stir in cottage cheese and mash if desired.
  • Fold wet ingredients into dry. Stir until just combined. Be careful not to overmix, as this can lead to dry or tough muffins.
  • To make the crumb topping: Combine sugar, flour, butter, and cinnamon in a small bowl. Mix with a fork until crumbly.
  • Spoon batter into the prepared muffin cups, filling right to the top. Sprinkle with crumb topping.
  • Bake for 18-22 minutes, or until the muffins are set and lightly golden. A toothpick inserted into the center should come out clean when done.
  • Allow the muffins to cool in the pan for 10 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack. For best results, wait until they reach room temperature before enjoying!
