High protein muffins are an easy way to increase protein intake in the diet.

11g protein per serving!

With 11g protein per serve these are a perfect snack or on the go breakfast and if you want to increase the protein further you can add some yoghurt too.

Incorporating high-protein snacks into your diet is an effective way to support satiety, energy levels, and muscle maintenance throughout the day. Protein takes longer to digest than carbohydrates, helping you feel fuller for longer and reducing the likelihood of overeating at your next meal. This can be particularly beneficial for weight management or those looking to stabilise their blood sugar levels.

Protein-rich snacks also provide essential amino acids that support muscle repair and growth, especially important if you’re physically active or aiming to preserve lean muscle mass as you age.

Choosing snacks like a high protein muffin can help bridge the gap between meals while contributing to your overall daily protein needs.

High Protein Choc & Blueberry Muffins

Prep Time 10 minutes minutes

Cook Time 20 minutes minutes

Servings 12 muffins

Ingredients

• 2 cups almond meal/flour
• 2 bananas
• 1 cup soy milk (I use light soy)
• 4 large eggs
• 2 servings chocolate protein powder (I love 4 scoops of Nuzest chocolate protein powder)
• 1 tsp baking soda
• 1-2 cups fresh or frozen blueberries
• 1 handful choc chips (I use Noshu sugar free choc chips)

Instructions

• Place all ingredients except the blueberries and chocolate chips into a blender and blend until a smooth mixture.
• Preheat oven to 180c / 360f.
• Pour the mixture into a non-stick muffin tray. If you think the mixture will stick, I recommend lining with baking paper or a light spray of extra virgin olive oil spray.
• Add the blueberries to the muffins - I usually do this separately so they are evenly distributed and sprinkle with a few choc chips.
• Place into the pre heated oven and cook for 20 minutes.
• Store in an airtight container for 2-3 days and these also freeze really well.
