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.

Hi, 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.

Hi 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!

O. 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!
