Ingredients
1 cup all purpose flour
1 cup rolled oats
1 scoop vanilla protein powder (about 30g)
1 tsp baking powder
1/2 tsp baking soda
1/4 tsp salt
2 large eggs
1/2 cup milk (dairy or plant based)
1/4 cup honey or maple syrup
1/4 cup melted coconut oil or vegetable oil
1 tsp vanilla extract
1/2 cup chocolate chips or berries (optional)

Directions
- 1. Preheat the oven to 180C (350F) and line a muffin tin with paper liners or lightly grease it.
- 2. In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, oats, protein powder, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
- 3. In a separate bowl, beat the eggs, then add the milk, honey, melted oil, and vanilla extract. Mix until smooth.
- 4. Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and stir gently until just combined. Avoid overmixing.
- 5. Fold in the chocolate chips or berries if using.
- 6. Divide the batter evenly among the muffin cups, filling each about 3/4 full.
- 7. Bake for 18 to 20 minutes, until the tops are golden and a toothpick inserted comes out clean.
- 8. Let the muffins cool in the tin for 5 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.

Notes
- For a gluten free version, use gluten free flour and certified gluten free oats. You can substitute the protein powder with an equal amount of collagen peptides for a different protein source. Store the muffins in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days, or freeze for up to 2 months. Reheat in the microwave for 10 to 15 seconds before serving. Enjoy these muffins warm with a side of Greek yogurt or fresh fruit for a complete and satisfying meal.
