Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 and 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1/2 cup vegan protein powder (vanilla or unflavored)
  • 1/4 cup granulated sugar
  • 2 teaspoons baking powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 cup unsweetened non-dairy milk
  • 1/4 cup vegetable oil
  • 1/4 cup unsweetened applesauce
  • 1 tablespoon flaxseed meal mixed with 3 tablespoons water (flax egg)
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • Optional: 1/2 cup vegan chocolate chips or berries

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a muffin tin with paper liners or grease it well.
  2. In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, protein powder, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
  3. In a separate medium bowl, whisk together the non-dairy milk, vegetable oil, applesauce, flax egg, and vanilla extract.
  4. Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and mix until just combined. Be careful not to overmix.
  5. If using, gently fold in the vegan chocolate chips or berries.
  6. Divide the batter evenly among the muffin cups, filling each about two-thirds full.
  7. Bake for 18-22 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of a muffin comes out clean.
  8. Let the muffins cool in the tin for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
