These Blueberry Cream Cheese Protein Muffins are only 73 calories each with 7 grams of protein! They have a delicious gooey cream cheese filling and only take 12 minutes to bake! You porbbaly have these ingredients on hand already. Baking with Greek yogurt is one of my favorite things ever because it is a butter/oil substitution that also gives you some extra protein at the same time!

What You Will Need
For the Muffins:
- Oat Flour – 3/4 cup of all-purpose or flour. I used the Prozis Instant Oats Powder. It is sugar free, high in fiber, has no preservatives, and more! Its blended up a lot more than oat flour and it just gives baked goodies the best texture! You can use the discount code KATIE10 at checkout too!
- Protein Powder – 60 grams of vanilla protein powder. I used the Prozis Natural Vanilla Whey Isolate. You can use that same code “KATIE10″ for 10% off at Prozis!
- Baking Powder – 1 1/2 teaspoons.
- Salt – 1/4 teaspoon.
- Cinnamon – 1/2 teaspoon.
- Egg Whites – 1/2 cup of liquid egg whites.
- Greek Yogurt – 1/2 cup of plain, nonfat Greek yogurt.
- Unsweetened Applesauce– 1/3 cup of unsweetened applesauce. Make sure it is unsweetened so you don’t add any extra sugar!!
- Vanilla Extract – 1 teaspoon, for flavor.
- Maple Syrup – 2 1/2 tablespoons of sugar free maple syrup. I like the brand Lakanto for my maple syrup because it is sweetened with monk fruit and has no Sucralose or artificial sweeteners!
- Blueberries – Easy guess right? You will need 1 cup! They can be fresh or frozen.
For the Filling:
- Cream Cheese – 2 1/2 tablespoons of low fat cream cheese, softened
- Stevia – 2 teaspoons.
How To Make Them
- Preheat oven to 375°F. Line a muffin tin with muffin liners and set aside.
- Combine all dry ingredients in a large mixing bowl.
- Add in your wet ingredients and mix until just combined. Fold in blueberries.
- Divide muffin mixture into 12 muffin tins.
- Mix the cream cheese filling ingredients in a small bowl. Divide evenly to the middle of each muffin and swirl around.
- Bake the muffins for 12 minutes and enjoy!
How To Store Them
Store your muffins in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 5 days. I keep them refrigerated because of the cream cheese and then just zap them in the microwave before having one!
