Tips to Make Hearty Blueberry Protein Muffins

• For a bit of crunch, consider adding chopped nuts or seeds to the batter along with the blueberries.

Variation

You can easily switch up the flavors by using different fruits. Try adding chopped strawberries, raspberries, or even diced apples instead of blueberries. For a chocolate twist, mix in some dark chocolate chips!
