    These beautiful gluten free protein muffins are made with just five ingredients! All you need is milk, gluten free protein powder, self rising flour, dairy free pudding and berries! (gluten free option, dairy free option, egg free, nut free, coconut free, soy free, FODMAP)

    Health Benefits of Protein Muffins

    Protein muffins have a lot of great ingredients and these ones are no exception! In addition to helping you feel fuller with the addition of protein, these muffins are also low calorie and low fat!

    Ingredients

    I love this ingredient list! It's simple and easy!

    milk

    With muffins, buttermilk is usually best but you can use dairy free milk substitutes.

    protein powder

    I'm a fan of using unflavored protein powder and usually opt for unflavored collagen protein powder. I can hide it in the kids foods and they never know I'm using it! But you can use a gluten free protein powder that is vanilla flavored too.

    self rising flour

    I have two self rising flour recipes you can use. One is a gluten free self rising flour recipe and the other is a keto self rising flour recipe.

    pudding

    I use a really good dairy free gluten free pudding mix. If you can tolerate milk, just use any pudding mix. But I left a link to the pudding mix I use. I can usually find it at Sprouts, but I've seen it popping up at other stores now.

    fruit

    I used blueberries since I had some on hand but you could also use:

    • Blueberries
    • Raspberries
    • Blackberries
    • Strawberries
    • Mixed Berries
    • Chocolate Chips

    Substitutions

    I listed all the substitutions you will need under ingredients along with links to anything that you might not be able to find. This recipe is very easy to adapt from the original recipe I used. *May contain affiliate links, original recipe here.

    Storing

    These muffins will store so easy and since I'm usually making them for me with all the substitutions, I can freeze them in an airtight container for several weeks. They also store in the refrigerator in an airtight container for several days.
