I’ve been baking these blueberry muffins on repeat lately — they’re the perfect mix of wholesome and delicious, and they make the best grab-and-go breakfast or snack. They’re packed with protein thanks to the Greek yogurt, naturally sweetened with maple syrup, and full of juicy blueberries. This recipe is inspired by Cookie + Kate’s Healthy Blueberry Muffins — I’ve been making them for weeks with a few small tweaks!

If you’re looking for an easy, high-protein muffin recipe that actually tastes good, this one’s for you.

Ingredients:

1 ¾ cups whole wheat flour (plus 1 tbsp for the blueberries)

1 tsp baking powder

½ tsp baking soda

½ tsp salt

¼ tsp ground cinnamon

⅓ cup melted coconut oil

½ cup maple syrup

2 eggs

1 cup plain Greek yogurt

2 tsp vanilla extract

1 cup blueberries (I’d do 1½ cups next time!)

1 tbsp turbinado sugar (for topping)

Directions:

Preheat your oven to 400°F and grease a muffin tin or line it with paper liners.

In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, and cinnamon.

In a medium bowl, whisk the melted coconut oil and maple syrup. Add the eggs and whisk again. Stir in the yogurt and vanilla until smooth.

Pour the wet ingredients into the dry and stir until just combined.

Toss the blueberries with 1 tbsp flour to prevent sinking, then gently fold them into the batter.

Divide the batter evenly between 12 muffin cups and sprinkle the tops with turbinado sugar. (I love this non toxic muffin tray from Caraway)

Bake for 16–20 minutes, or until golden and a toothpick comes out clean.

Let them cool before eating (if you can wait that long!).

Tips & Variations

  • Want extra protein? Try adding a scoop of vanilla protein powder (just reduce the flour slightly).

  • Swap in raspberries, chopped strawberries, or dark chocolate chips for a twist.

  • They freeze beautifully — just pop one in the microwave for a quick weekday breakfast.
