  • Total Time: About 30 minutes
  • Yield: 10-12 muffins 1x

Ingredients

Scale

  • 1 cup oat flour (or finely ground oats)

  • ½ cup vanilla protein powder

  • 1 teaspoon baking powder

  • ½ teaspoon baking soda

  • ½ teaspoon salt

  • 1 teaspoon cinnamon

  • 2 large eggs

  • ½ cup Greek yogurt (plain or vanilla)

  • ⅓ cup maple syrup or honey

  • ¼ cup almond milk (or any milk of choice)

  • 2 tablespoons coconut oil, melted

  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Cinnamon Swirl:

  • 2 tablespoons coconut sugar (or brown sugar)

  • 1 teaspoon cinnamon

  • 1 tablespoon melted butter or coconut oil

Instructions

 

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a muffin tin with liners.

  2. In a large bowl, whisk together oat flour, protein powder, baking powder, baking soda, salt, and cinnamon.

  3. In a separate bowl, whisk the eggs, Greek yogurt, maple syrup, almond milk, coconut oil, and vanilla extract until smooth.

  4. Gently fold the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients until just combined—don’t overmix!

  5. In a small bowl, mix the cinnamon and sugar, then stir in the melted butter.

  6. Fill muffin liners halfway with batter, add a small spoonful of cinnamon mixture, then top with remaining batter. Use a toothpick or knife to gently swirl.
