Notes
Why are protein muffins so dry?
Muffins can get dry by using too much protein powder, oat flour, or almond flour. Make sure you don't overdo it on the dry ingredients and use an oil like coconut oil for fluffy muffins.
How do you store muffins?
You can store these healthy muffins in an airtight container on the counter or in the fridge. They will last longer in the refrigerator but I recommend reheating before serving. Top with maple syrup or even peanut butter before serving.
Pro tip: Add a muffin to a greek yogurt bowl and top with fruit for a complete and delicious breakfast.
