muffin tin

Step 3: Mix Bowl Add Ins

(Optional) separate the mix into 3 bowls and mix in your desired toppings. You could also just add toppings on top of the mix in the tin itself, but I prefer them mixed in.

Step 4: Fill Muffin Tin

Fill the muffin pan with mix, up to 3/4 full. You can add toppings on top again if you’d like.

You can also make mini muffins with a mini muffin pan.

Step 5: Bake

Bake for about 13-15 minutes, until the sides are golden.

Step 6: Add Toppings

(Optional) serve with additional toppings. I served the strawberry muffins with honey, blueberry muffins with coconut whip cream, and chocolate chip muffins with sunflower butter. It was delicious!

Don’t add your toppings until right before you serve them.

This sheet pan pancakes recipe is essentially the same as the high protein pancake muffin recipe that I shared today! I made this recipe first and I think that I prefer the muffin recipe – simply because it’s easier to serve. But you could prepare the sheet pan pancakes with the fruit arranged as an American flag for the 4th of July – or another patriotic holiday.

High Protein Brunch Bowl

This protein packed brunch bowl is so delicious and easy to make. If you’re a savory breakfast fan – like me – then you have to give this a try. This recipe isn’t really a “meal prep recipe” however, you could prepare some items ahead of time. For example, the jammy eggs and potatoes could be made beforehand and stored for a couple days so that when you put your brunch bowl together you just have to reheat the crispy potatoes in your microwave.

This casserole dish is so sweet and summery tasting. The greek yogurt, blue berries and rolled oats make for such a delicious combination – not to mention super healthy and full of protein. When you serve the dish, it’s so nice warmed up and served with fresh yogurt and blueberries.

High Protein Egg Bites

I’m such a big fan of the Starbucks egg bites so I was eager to make my own! There’s great tasting and protein-packed ingredients – and you can even add more ingredients that you enjoy, such as tomatoes, bacon, onion, etc. These are so great for meal prepping and eating on the go!
