Notes
- You can make healthy protein muffins without protein powder. Add up to ⅓ cup Greek yogurt to make without protein powder. Add additional tablespoon of all purpose flour or less almond milk if the texture seems too thin.
- Swap coconut sugar for stevia, monk fruit sweetener, or erythritol to make no sugar muffins. You may also use maple syrup or honey in place of coconut sugar if you prefer.
- Make the muffins vegan by swapping out the egg for 2 flax eggs.
- Freezer Prep: Allow the muffins to cool completely and store them in a freezer-safe container for up to 3 months.
