8. Distribute Batter: Evenly distribute the batter into the prepared muffin tin, filling each cup about 3/4 full.

Blueberry banana whey muffins FAQ:

How long should I bake the muffins?

Bake the muffins in a preheated oven at 350°F (175°C) for 15-20 minutes. Check for doneness by inserting a toothpick in the center; it should come out clean.

What can I substitute for whey protein powder?

If you don't have whey protein powder, you can use plant-based protein powder or oat flour as an alternative, but the texture and nutritional profile may vary.

Can I use fresh blueberries instead of frozen?

Yes, fresh blueberries can be used instead of frozen. They will add a burst of freshness and may not release as much moisture as frozen ones.

What is the best way to store the muffins?

Store the muffins in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days, or refrigerate them for up to a week. They can also be frozen for longer storage.

What size muffin tin is used for this recipe?

This recipe is designed for a standard muffin tin. It yields about 6-8 medium-sized muffins.

Tips:

- Ensure your banana is ripe for optimal sweetness and moisture.

- Mix the wet and dry ingredients separately before combining them to ensure even distribution and avoid clumping.

- Consider using fresh blueberries for a burst of juicy flavor in every bite, but frozen blueberries work well too.

- Don’t overmix the batter; this helps keep the muffins light and fluffy.

- Use muffin liners or lightly grease your muffin tin to make removal easier and keep the muffins intact.

- Keep an eye on the muffins during baking; ovens can vary, and you don’t want them to overbake.
