Step‑by‑Step Instructions

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and prepare a muffin tin.
In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, protein powder, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
In a separate bowl, whisk together the milk, applesauce, coconut oil, egg, and vanilla extract until smooth.
Combine the wet ingredients with the dry ingredients, mixing gently until just combined.
Fold in the blueberries carefully.
Spoon the batter into the muffin tin, filling each cup about three-quarters full.
Optional: Sprinkle turbinado sugar on top before baking.
Bake for 18 to 22 minutes, until golden brown and a toothpick comes out clean.
Cool in the tin for 5 minutes, then transfer to a cooling rack.
