Ingredients
  

1 cup rolled oats

1 cup unsweetened Greek yogurt

2 ripe bananas, mashed until smooth

2 large eggs

1/4 cup honey or pure maple syrup

1 scoop vanilla protein powder

1 teaspoon baking powder

1/2 teaspoon baking soda

1/4 teaspoon salt

1 teaspoon ground cinnamon

1 cup fresh or frozen blueberries (do not thaw if using frozen)

Optional: 1/4 cup chopped nuts (e.g. walnuts or pecans)

Instructions
 

Preheat the Oven: Start by preheating your oven to 350°F (175°C). Prepare a muffin tin by lining it with paper liners or lightly greasing it with cooking spray.

    Mix Dry Ingredients: In a medium-sized mixing bowl, combine the rolled oats, protein powder, baking powder, baking soda, salt, and ground cinnamon. Whisk these ingredients together thoroughly to ensure they are well mixed.

      Combine Wet Ingredients: In a larger bowl, add the Greek yogurt, mashed bananas, eggs, and honey or maple syrup. Use a whisk to blend these ingredients until the mixture is smooth and well-combined.

        Incorporate Dry into Wet: Gradually add the dry mixture to the wet ingredients. Stir gently until just combined; avoid overmixing to ensure your muffins remain tender.

          Add Blueberries: Carefully fold in the blueberries and nuts (if using) into the batter. Use a spatula to gently mix them in, making sure they are distributed evenly without crushing any berries.

            Fill Muffin Cups: Using a spoon or ice cream scoop, fill each muffin cup in your prepared tin about three-quarters full with the batter.

              Bake: Place the muffin tin in your preheated oven and bake for 18-20 minutes. Check for doneness by inserting a toothpick into the center of a muffin—the toothpick should come out clean when done.

                Cool Down: After baking, remove the muffin tin from the oven and allow the muffins to cool in the pan for about 5 minutes. Then transfer the muffins to a wire rack to cool completely.

                  Serve: Once cooled, enjoy these muffins as a nutritious breakfast or a satisfying snack. Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to a week, or freeze them for longer storage.

                      Optional Presentation Tip: Consider serving the muffins on a decorative plate, garnished with a sprig of mint or a few extra blueberries for an extra touch of color.
