These blueberry protein muffins are as healthy as they are delicious. Thanks to the added collagen powder, these hearty oatmeal muffins are loaded with blueberries and a dose of extra protein. They are easy, healthy, and so delicious - the perfect combination!
These quick and easy muffins can be made ahead of time, making them perfect for meal prep. Blueberry Oatmeal muffins are also loaded with complex carbs and protein, making them great on-the-go snacks or post-workout treat.
I really enjoy making muffins of all kinds. From sweet to savory, I can't get enough of those little hand-held morsels. I make muffins for breakfast, brunch, lunch, and dinner. You can even enjoy them as an afternoon snack.
One of my favorite breakfast muffin varieties is these blueberry protein muffins. They're deliciously sweet but not too sweet and loaded with fiber and protein to keep you full all morning.
These blueberry protein muffins are moist and soft, but they also have added protein from collagen. They are free of dairy, gluten, and refined sugars and packed with a naturally sweet flavor from maple syrup. These blueberry oatmeal muffins are vegan, as no eggs are used in this recipe.
These blueberry protein muffins are made with gluten-free oats, almond butter, and TRUVANI collagen powder to keep them protein-rich. I love the crunch of the rolled oats, which adds a nice thick texture. With a bit of added Chia seeds, we are also supporting digestive health, lowering cholesterol, controlling diabetes, and reducing inflammation.

Equipment
Instructions
1: Preheat the oven to 350 degrees and line a muffin pan with silicone liners. Lightly coat them with coconut oil using a pastry brush. DO NOT skip this step, or the muffins will stick to the liners.
2: Whisk the almond milk, vanilla extract, chia seeds, and maple syrup in a large bowl. Then, let it sit for 5 minutes.
3: In another large bowl, combine the gluten-free oats, cinnamon, baking powder, collagen powder, and sea salt.
4: Add the almond butter and applesauce to the wet ingredients and whisk well.
5: Mix the wet and dry ingredients, then fold in the blueberries with a rubber spatula.
6: Scoop the mixture evenly into the muffin pan with an ice cream or cookie scoop.
7: Bake for 28 to 32 minutes until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. Then, let the muffins cool completely in the pan to hold their shape. Enjoy!
Top Tips
- Be sure you let your wet ingredients sit for about 5 minutes. This gives the chia seeds time to absorb some moisture and get soft while baking.
- Brushing your liners with coconut oil is imperative if you want the muffins to release from them.
- Let the muffins cool completely in the muffin tin so they hold their shape when you remove them.
