Ingredients

Scale

Dry Ingredients

  • 1.5 cups all-purpose flour
  • 0.5 cup vanilla protein powder
  • 0.25 cup granulated sugar
  • 2 teaspoons baking powder
  • 0.5 teaspoon salt

Wet Ingredients

  • 1 large egg
  • 1 cup milk
  • 0.25 cup vegetable oil
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Instructions

  1. Prepare Your Oven and Muffin Tin: Preheat your oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C). Line a 12-cup muffin tin with paper liners or lightly grease each cup to ensure easy removal of the muffins.
  2. Combine Dry Ingredients: In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, vanilla protein powder, granulated sugar, baking powder, and salt. Mix well to distribute ingredients evenly without lumps.
  3. Mix Wet Ingredients: In a separate medium bowl, lightly beat the large egg. Then whisk in the milk, vegetable oil, and vanilla extract until fully combined and smooth.
  4. Gently Combine Wet and Dry: Pour the wet mixture into the dry ingredients bowl. Stir gently with a spatula until just combined; some streaks of flour are okay to keep the muffins tender. Avoid overmixing.
  5. Fill Muffin Cups: Evenly divide the batter among the 12 prepared muffin cups, filling each about two-thirds full for consistent muffin size.
  6. Bake to Perfection: Bake in the preheated oven for 18-22 minutes, or until a wooden skewer inserted into the center of a muffin comes out clean and the tops are golden brown and spring back when lightly pressed.
  7. Cool and Enjoy: Remove the muffin tin from the oven and let the muffins cool in the tin for 5 minutes. Then transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely to prevent sogginess before serving.

Notes

  • For best texture, do not overmix the batter.
  • You can substitute dairy milk with almond or oat milk for a dairy-free option.
  • Store muffins in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days or freeze for longer storage.
  • Add-ins like blueberries or chocolate chips can be folded in with the dry ingredients for variety.
