Why Should You Make High Protein Blueberry Muffins?

High-protein blueberry muffins are a delicious and nutritious snack.

In terms of nutrition, they offer:

• Sustained energy: High protein muffins provide a longer-lasting energy than classic muffins.
• Better blood sugar management: Adding protein to blueberry muffins helps to stabilize blood sugar levels.
• Increased satiety: The extra protein makes you feel full for longer, which curbs cravings and overeating.

In short, adding protein powder to muffins makes them healthier.

And I personally love high protein muffins because they combine taste, nutrition, and convenience in a way that few other recipes do.

How Do You Make Blueberry Muffins With Protein Powder? 

Adding protein powder to muffins is a great way to increase your dietary protein intake.

But it can affect taste and texture if you are not careful.

For best results, do the following:

1. Adjust the amount of flour – Typically, you can replace up to 1/4 to 1/3 of the flour in a recipe with protein powder. But if your baked goods come out too dry or dense, use less protein powder.
2. Add extra moisture – Protein powder tends to absorb more liquid than flour, which can make baked goods dry. To counteract this, add yogurt, applesauce, or banana.
3. Use leavening agents – Protein powder can make baked goods dense. Add extra baking powder or baking soda to help them rise.
4. Mix carefully – When incorporating protein powder, mix until just combined. Over-mixing can lead to a tough texture.
5. Monitor the bake time – Baked goods with added protein powder might bake faster, so check often and early.

By following these guidelines, you should be able to successfully incorporate protein powder into muffins.

Be prepared to experiment, however, as your oven, bakeware, and even humidity can affect how the recipe turns out.

We make our Protein Powders from whole food protein sources like egg whites and almonds.

monk fruit

NOT Our Ingredients

• acacia gum

• acesulfame potassium

• artificial flavors

• carrageenan

• erythritol

• guar gum

• inulin

• maltodextrin

Other protein powders are made from ultra-processed protein concentrates and isolates, which have been mechanically and/or chemically stripped of everything but the protein.

As a result, they have a chalky aftertaste and rubbery texture. 

Whole foods, on the other hand, taste like real food.

It is worth adding that we sweeten our protein powders with monk fruit – a small, melon-like round fruit native to Southeast Asia.

We like monk fruit because it is sweet like sugar.

Other sugar substitutes, including artificial sweeteners, sugar alcohols, and stevia activate bitter taste receptors.

As you can imagine, this aftertaste might ruin your recipe!
