21of 21High-Protein Lemon-Blueberry MuffinsView RecipePhotographer: Morgan Hunt Glaze, Prop Stylist: Josh Hoggle, Food Stylist: Julia LevyThese lemon-blueberry muffins are so good, you’ll think they came straight from a bakery. A sprinkle of sugar creates a nice crunch on the outside, while strained yogurt ensures the muffins stay moist on the inside. The yogurt also provides a boost of satisfying protein, making these muffins perfect for breakfast or snack time. If using frozen blueberries, there’s no need to thaw them beforehand. They will add a purple hue to the batter, but it won’t affect the delicious end result.
