These scrumptious Blueberry Lemon Protein Muffins are perfect to meal prep for breakfast or a quick snack on the go. We can't get enough of the moist, fluffy texture full of juicy blueberries and lemon zest. Best of all, the macros let you have three or four muffins per serving! They're also gluten-free and low in fat and sugar.
NOTES: You can use whole wheat or oat flour in place of the gluten-free baking flour if you wish. Also, the sweetener we used is twice as sweet as sugar, so you may need to use up to a cup to get the desired sweetness if using one that measures like sugar.
