High-Protein Strawberry Muffins

These high-protein strawberry muffins deliver bakery-worthy flavor and texture while packing in a satisfying 10 grams of protein per serving. Greek yogurt and vanilla whey protein powder boost the protein content without drying the crumb, while fresh strawberries add juicy bursts of summer sweetness. A sprinkle of demerara sugar on top creates a delicate crunch, making these muffins as beautiful as they are delicious. Perfect for a bright breakfast, post-workout snack, or a healthy treat on a sunny British Columbia morning.

Ingredients

Instructions

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a 12-cup muffin tin with liners or grease lightly.
In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, protein powder, coconut sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. Set aside.
In a separate bowl, whisk together Greek yogurt, eggs, milk, oil, and vanilla until well combined and smooth.
Add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients and stir gently just until combined (do not overmix; a few lumps are okay).
Fold in the diced strawberries gently with a spatula.
Divide the batter evenly among the muffin cups (they will be quite full). Sprinkle each muffin with a light pinch of demerara sugar for crunch, if desired.
Bake for 18–22 minutes, or until the tops are golden and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
Allow muffins to cool in the pan for 5 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely. Enjoy warm or at room temperature.
