Protein Muffins | High in Protein & Quickly Baked

Recipe Note

Tip: If your vegan protein muffins are browning too quickly on top before the end of baking time, simply cover them with foil.

About this recipe

In my opinion, our muffins are the best protein muffin recipe in the whole “high protein blueberry muffins” world.
Why? Well, where do I begin… they’re super tasty, moist, and fruity, and you won’t even notice they’re high in protein. And if you’ve tried a few protein recipes before, you probably know what I mean. These protein muffins taste just like the ones we used to have at birthday parties as kids. And that’s exactly what we want – great taste with better macros.

Not into blueberry protein muffins? We got you!
