Ingredients
  

  • Rolled oats or oat flour (to blend into flour if needed)
  • Almond flour (extra tenderness and healthy fats)
  • Vanilla whey or plant-based protein powder (unflavored works too)
  • Baking powder and baking soda
  • Fine sea salt
  • Ground cinnamon (optional but lovely)
  • Greek yogurt (2% or whole for best moisture)
  • Eggs
  • Milk (dairy or unsweetened almond/oat milk)
  • Light olive oil or melted coconut oil
  • Vanilla extract
  • Honey, maple syrup, or light brown sugar
  • Fresh or frozen raspberries (do not thaw if frozen)
  • White chocolate chips or a chopped white chocolate bar
  • Lemon zest (optional for brightness)

Method
 

  1. Prep your pan and oven. Preheat to 350°F (175°C). Line a 12-cup muffin tin with paper liners or lightly grease each cup.
  2. Make oat flour if needed. Blend rolled oats in a blender until fine and flour-like. Measure after blending so amounts are accurate.
  3. Whisk dry ingredients. In a large bowl, combine 1 cup oat flour, 3/4 cup almond flour, 1/2 cup vanilla protein powder, 1 1/2 teaspoons baking powder, 1/4 teaspoon baking soda, 1/4 teaspoon fine salt, and 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon. Stir until evenly mixed.
  4. Mix wet ingredients. In a separate bowl, whisk 3/4 cup Greek yogurt, 2 large eggs, 1/2 cup milk, 3 tablespoons olive oil (or melted coconut oil), 1 teaspoon vanilla extract, and 1/3 cup honey or maple syrup. Add 1 teaspoon lemon zest if using.
  5. Combine wet and dry. Pour the wet mixture into the dry bowl. Stir gently with a spatula until just combined. The batter should be thick but scoopable. If it’s too stiff, add a splash of milk.
  6. Fold in the goodies. Gently fold in 3/4 cup raspberries and 1/2 cup white chocolate chips. If using frozen raspberries, work quickly and avoid overmixing to prevent streaking.
  7. Portion the batter. Divide evenly among 12 muffin cups. Top with a few extra raspberries and chips for a bakery look.
  8. Bake. Bake 16–20 minutes, until the tops are set and a toothpick comes out with a few moist crumbs. Avoid overbaking to keep them tender.
  9. Cool. Let muffins cool in the tin for 5 minutes, then transfer to a rack. They’ll firm up as they cool.
  10. Enjoy or store. Eat warm, or let cool completely before storing to maintain texture.
