Not gonna lie, I thought this muffin was too big; There really was so so much batter in that muffin cup, but man it turned out amazing! Yes it was massive, but it tasted so so good I could have totally gone for another. 

Only had part was fitting it into my mouth haha.

Ingredients for Single Serve Blueberry Protein Muffin

This giant single serve chocolate protein muffin is made with clean and healthy ingredients – whole wheat pastry flour, chocolate protein powder, and greek yogurt – and makes a great high protein snack or breakfast. 

• Whole Wheat Pastry Flour
• Vanilla Protein Powder needed for high protein blueberry muffin and to serve as sweetener. I used Quest Nutrition Vanilla Milkshake protein powder.
• Unflavored Protein Powder to replace some of the flour (and carbs). I used Quest Nutrition whey-casein.
• Almond Butter Powder, also known as Powdered Almond Butter. I use the one from PB2.
• Almond Butter
• Non-Fat Greek Yogurt for extra protein
• Almond Milk to add moisture to the muffins – the protein powder absorbs a lot.
• Baking Powder

• Blueberries

How to make Bluberry Protein Muffin for One:

This blueberry protein muffin is the perfect breakfast treat for one – and is super easy to make. Here’s what it takes:

1. Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 375°F and position the rack in the center.

2. Prepare muffin pan or ramekin: Line one cup of muffin pan with parchment paper for easy removal.

3. Combine Dry Ingredients: In a mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, vanilla protein powder, unflavored protein powder, almond butter powder and baking powder until well combined.

4. Add Wet Ingredients: Add the unsweetened almond milk, yogurt and almond butter to the dry ingredients in the bowl. Stir until you have a smooth batter.

5. Fold in Blueberries: Gently fold in the fresh or frozen blueberries into the muffin batter, being careful not to overmix.

6. Transfer to the Pan: Pour the muffin batter into the prepared ramekin or baking dish.

7. Bake: Place the ramekin or baking dish in the preheated oven. Bake for approximately 5 minutes, lower temperature to 350°F and bake another 15 minutes, or until the muffin is firm and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.

8. Cool and Enjoy: Allow the muffin to cool for a few minutes before enjoying. It will be hot when it first comes out of the oven

Tips for Single Serving Blueberry Protein Powder Muffin

This single serving blueberry protein muffin recipe is really easy to make, but here’s some pointers to keep in mind so it actually turns out right!

• Use melted smooth drippy almond butter so it mixes well with the other ingredients.

• Use room temperature yogurt and milk;
  This is so the wet ingredients and dry ingredients can mix well.
  Microwave the wet ingredients for about 5 seconds if this does happen.

• Don’t over-mix the batter!
  Make sure you gently fold the dry mix into the wet to combine them.
  If you over-mix it, the protein powder – will make it tough, dense and gummy.

• Taste the batter and see if you need some extra sweetener. I’d recommend using stevia powder to maintain the consistency of the batter and have sugar free protein muffins.

• Lightly grease the cupcake liners or muffin pan with cooking spray – this will allow the protein powder muffin to come off easily!

For the perfect bakery style blueberry protein powder muffin:

• Bake for 5 minutes at 375°F  then lower the heat to 350°F to and continue to bake for another 15 minutes (the total time should be about 20 minutes, until a tester inserted into the center comes out dry).

That initial hot air makes the tops rise, and then the lower temperature lets the muffins continue to cook on the inside.

Storage instructions for Blueberry Muffin for One

This is a single serving recipe, but if you have leftovers or want to make this muffin in advance, here’s how to store it to maintain their freshness:

Room Temperature: This single blueberry muffin is best enjoyed fresh but can be kept at room temperature for a short period, generally up to 1 day. Be sure to store in an airtight container or a zip-top bag to prevent them from drying out.

Refrigeration: For longer storage, refrigerate the muffin. Place it in an airtight container to keep it moist. They can last for up to 3-4 days in the refrigerator.

Freezing: If you want to store the muffin for an extended period, consider freezing it. Wrap the muffin tightly in plastic wrap, foil, or a freezer bag. It can be stored in the freezer for up to 2-3 months.

Thawing: When you’re ready to enjoy a refrigerated or frozen muffin, allow it to come to room temperature or reheat it in the microwave for a short time (10-15 seconds for refrigerated muffins, and 30-45 seconds for frozen muffins).

Keep in mind that the texture may change slightly after refrigeration or freezing, but the flavor should remain intact. Enjoy your single-serve blueberry protein muffin whenever you’re ready for a quick and satisfying treat!
