• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 1 tablespoon lemon zest

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and prepare a 12-cup muffin tin with liners or lightly grease it.

Step 2

In a large mixing bowl, whisk together whole wheat flour, oat flour, vanilla protein powder, poppy seeds, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.

Step 3

In a separate medium bowl, mix the almond milk, eggs, Greek yogurt, honey, vanilla extract, lemon zest, and melted coconut oil until well combined.

Step 4

Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients, and gently fold them together using a spatula. Be careful not to overmix; just combine until no dry flour remains.

Step 5

Divide the batter evenly among the muffin cups, filling each about three-quarters full.

Step 6

Place the muffin tin in the preheated oven and bake for 18-20 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.

Once baked, remove the muffin tin from the oven and allow the muffins to cool in the tin for about 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.

Enjoy your high protein poppy seed muffins as a healthy breakfast option or snack!
