Ingredients

  • 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1/2 cup vanilla protein powder
  • 1 tsp baking powder
  • 1/2 tsp baking soda
  • 1/4 tsp salt
  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter softened
  • 3/4 cup granulated sugar
  • 2 large eggs at room temperature
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 1/2 cup plain Greek yogurt
  • 1 1/2 cups fresh strawberries finely chopped
  • 1 tbsp turbinado sugar optional, for topping

Equipment

  • oven
  • muffin tin
  • electric mixer

Method

  1. Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a 12-cup muffin tin with paper liners or lightly grease with cooking spray.
  2. In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, protein powder, baking powder, baking soda, and salt until well combined. Set aside.
  3. In a large mixing bowl, beat the softened butter and granulated sugar together with an electric mixer on medium speed until light and fluffy, about 2 minutes. Add the eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition. Mix in the vanilla extract and Greek yogurt until smooth.
  4. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, stirring gently with a spatula just until combined. Do not overmix. Fold in the chopped strawberries until evenly distributed throughout the batter.
  5. Divide the batter evenly among the prepared muffin cups, filling each about 3/4 full. If desired, sprinkle the tops with turbinado sugar for a slight crunch.
  6. Bake in the preheated oven for 18–20 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of a muffin comes out clean. The muffins should be golden brown on top.
  7. Remove the muffins from the oven and let them cool in the pan for 5 minutes. Transfer the muffins to a wire rack to cool completely before serving.
