  • 1 cup milk (unsweetened almond or 2% dairy) For a tender crumb.
  • 1 tsp vanilla (optional) Adds lovely flavor.
  • 1 medium lemon (zested and juiced) Provides a bright citrus flavor.
  • 1 cup all-purpose flour or protein pancake mix Choose based on dietary goals.
  • 1 tsp baking powder For lift.
  • 1 pinch salt For balance.
  • 1/4 cup sweetener (sugar, maple syrup, or honey) Keep it modest so flavors shine.

Add-ins

  • 1 cup blueberries (fresh or frozen) If frozen, do not thaw; toss lightly in flour.

  • 1 tbsp chia seeds or hemp hearts (optional) For added nutrition.
  • 1/4 cup white chocolate chips (optional) For a brunch treat.

Instructions
 

Preparation

  • Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C) and lightly grease a mini muffin pan or line with mini liners.
  • In a medium bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, vanilla, lemon zest, and lemon juice until smooth.
  • Sprinkle the flour, baking powder, salt, and sweetener over the wet ingredients and stir gently with a spatula until just combined.
  • Fold in the blueberries carefully to avoid smashing them.
  • Use a small cookie scoop or spoon to fill each muffin cup almost to the top.

Baking

  • Bake in the preheated oven for 10-13 minutes, or until the tops spring back when lightly pressed and a toothpick comes out clean or with a few moist crumbs.

Cooling

  • Let them cool in the pan for 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack.

Notes

Storage: Store in an airtight container for up to 1 day at room temperature or 4-5 days in the fridge. Freeze for up to 3 months. Reheat in the microwave for 10-15 seconds or in a 300°F oven for a few minutes.
