Dairy-free lemon blueberry protein muffins are a quick and easy approach to increased protein consumption. For this recipe, I opted to use a plant-based protein vs. using whey protein. All of the other ingredients exclude dairy, so using plant-based protein helped to keep the entire recipe dairy free.
I’ve made blueberry protein muffins in the past. They were ok, but not great. Adding lemon extract to the recipe gave it a lot of zest! These muffins are incredible. They are very easy for meal prep use. I packed a couple in a Ziplock bag and stored them in my refrigerator for the week. Each morning I would grab a bag and go.

June 12, 2018 at 9:21 pmHi, I made these and the batter was very thick and didn’t look like your picture. I rechecked the ingredients many times. Wondering if I missed something, or if there is a liquid missing from the ingredient list.

June 13, 2018 at 8:31 amHi there! Thanks for trying this recipe! It is likely due to the difference in the brand of protein powder used. Each brand is different and can vary in consistency. You can use a little less powder, or add an additional small amount of coconut oil. Add it in small batches until your desired consistency is obtained. I hope this helps!

September 13, 2018 at 8:58 amO. M. G. These are SO good!! For those interested in modifications – I used whey protein, honey instead of stevia (I used about 1/4 cup), and the juice of half a lemon (plus some of the pulp). Turned out great!

January 11, 2019 at 7:17 pmthese are DELICIOUS! i doubled the batch, pureed the blueberries ( i don’t like chunks), and added chocolate chips to a few.
i used Vega One protein. i reamed a lemon instead of using extract, and dates instead of stevia.
they came out a weird chunky texture, but tasted great!

January 28, 2019 at 7:57 pmThese are yummy! I used 25 drops of liquid stevia. They puff up nicely and are dense so be sure not to overbake! Taste is similar to keto bread. Next time i’ll try adding cinnamon 🙂 Thanks for the recipe!

January 30, 2019 at 7:09 amA scoop is provided in the protein container you purchase. Use that.

February 24, 2019 at 4:29 pmif your protein powder has Stevia in it would you just omit the stevia. Face look absolutely delicious. Thank you

June 8, 2019 at 1:56 amThese look fabulous but I’m confused! Are they 260 calories per muffin?

June 23, 2019 at 12:54 pmIs there another flour I could use instead of Almond? We have a peanut tree nut allergy at our house. She is not allergic to coconut thought – could we use all coconut flour?
staysnatched
June 25, 2019 at 6:39 amThere are other flours you could use, such as coconut, but it is a lot denser than almond flour. They don’t have a 1:1 substitution ratio so you would have to do some research and experimenting to tweak the recipe.
