Ingredients

50 g light butter melted and cooled slightly
50 g yogurt
1 egg
1/2 cup milk 125ml + 1/2 tsp vinegar or lemon juice to make buttermilk (you can use a light higher protein milk or a plant-based option)
2 bananas
1 tsp vanilla
100 g granulated sweetener A zero calorie sweetener was used in this recipe, or you can use normal sugar/brown sugar/monkfruit
170 g flour can sub for oat flour
30 g protein vanilla, cinnamon etc
80 g rolled oats
1 tsp cinnamon
1.5 tsp baking powder
1/4 tsp baking soda
1/4 tsp salt
100 g blueberries fresh or frozen

Instructions

In a mixing bowl, combine the melted light butter and granulated sweetener. Mix until the ingredients are well combined and the mixture has a creamy texture.
Add the egg, yogurt, buttermilk (prepared by combining milk with vinegar or lemon juice), and vanilla extract to the butter mixture. Mix thoroughly until the wet ingredients are fully integrated.
Sift in the flour, protein powder, cinnamon, baking powder, baking soda, and a dash of salt. Gradually fold the dry mixture into the wet mixture, ensuring even incorporation.
Dust the blueberries in some flour and gently fold into the mix, along with the rolled oats, reserving a small portion for topping the muffins.
Rest and Develop Flavor and texture: For optimal flavor development and texture, cover the muffin batter and refrigerate for a minimum of 30 minutes. This step, while optional, allows the ingredients to harmonize and enhances the taste profile of the muffins.
Preheat and Line: Preheat your oven to 180°C (350°F). While the oven heats up, prepare 12 muffin liners in a muffin tin. Distribute the muffin batter evenly among the prepared liners and sprinkle the reserved blueberries on top.
Bake for 20-15 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center emerges clean.
Once baked, allow the muffins to cool in the tin for 10-15 minutes, then transfer the muffins to a wire rack for further cooling.

Notes

*This recipe uses a zero calorie granulated sweetener that has a 1:1 substitution to white sugar. Please make sure if you are going to use a sugar substitute that it has the same substitution. If the sweetness is more concentrated, please use less of the sweetener.
