Ingredients
Scale
1 cup oat flour
1 scoop vanilla protein powder
1 teaspoon baking powder
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/2 cup plain Greek yogurt
1/4 cup maple syrup
1 large egg
1/4 cup unsweetened applesauce
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1/2 cup mini chocolate chips
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a 12-cup muffin tin with paper liners or grease well.
In a large bowl, whisk together the oat flour, protein powder, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. This is your dry mix.
In a separate medium bowl, whisk together the Greek yogurt, maple syrup, egg, applesauce, and vanilla extract until smooth.
Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients. Mix gently with a spatula until just combined. Do not overmix. A few streaks of flour are fine.
Fold in the mini chocolate chips.
Divide the batter evenly among the 12 muffin cups, filling each about two-thirds full.
Bake for 16 to 18 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
Let the muffins cool in the pan for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Notes
For a different flavor, substitute half the chocolate chips with chopped nuts or dried fruit.
These muffins freeze well. Store cooled muffins in an airtight container in the freezer for up to three months. Thaw overnight on the counter or microwave briefly.
If you do not have oat flour, blend 1 cup of rolled oats in a high-speed blender until finely ground.
