One of our old recipes was a standard vanilla protein muffin. Over the weekend I decided to revamp it a little bit. I had received some new protein powders from Bob’s Red Mill to try – and figured what better way to experiment than baking?
These Strawberry Protein Muffins taste more like strawberry cupcakes. The Bob’s Red Mill Vanilla Protein Powder tastes like vanilla cake batter. Add in Berries… and YUM! Such a good combo.

I’ve been eating these for breakfast all week, and I’m making another batch of them to enjoy this weekend for beach snacks! They’re the perfect for putting in a container and taking along to the beach or pool!
What are your favorite protein powders and muffin add ins? Fresh berries are always my favorite!

I am pleasantly surprised by the Vanilla! Usually I opt for chocolate, but the flavor is a nice summery complement to so many recipes!

I really like the vanilla too! It was perfectly sweet and delicious!
Stephanie @ Wholesome Paradise says
I don’t like protein powder but I love strawberries and muffins. I like putting most types of fruit in muffins. Peach would be really good with these.
thecleaneatingcouple@gmail.com says
You could swap out the protein powder in this for any type of flour and it would be great. These would be delicious with peach! Thanks for the idea 🙂

I still have a handful of videos to catch up on for the FES!! There is so much useful info that I already learned. I have been seeing this protein all over Insta and am interested in trying it. I mean if it tastes like cake batter, I’m game haha!

So much good info! I have a whole list of things to implement! And you should definitely try it- it’s delish!
Mollie says
Could you make these in a loaf pan as a bread instead of muffins?
The Clean Eating Couple says
I haven’t tried that but I wouldn’t recommend it!
