These Vegan Protein Muffins (blender muffins) are quick, easy, healthy, and delicious! All you'll need is some common ingredients, a blender, a muffin tin, and your oven.

Now that my son is on summer break, it's time to adjust my schedule and create a balance between work and activities for him. He's not one for sitting still too long, so I try to get him out of the house often, so he doesn't go bonkers. This helps keep me sane, too.

I can't say I'm very organized with the activity schedule, but I definitely have it down in the grab-and-go snack department. We are usually running out the door last-minute, and portable snacks always make life easier. These Vegan Protein Muffins fit into our summertime madness very well.

Not sure what it is about summer, but my little one sure likes to eat, and he's a total snack monster. He could seriously eat all day long. I don't mind giving him extra snacks because it makes him happy. As long as the snacks are nutritious, he's active and he eats his regular meals.

Some of his favorite snacks are Smoothies, Dates with Peanut Butter, No-Bake Granola Bars, Fruit, Pretzels, Almond Joy Energy Bites, and these Vegan Protein Muffins (which are his latest obsession).

Taste-testing day

I couldn't wait to try Bob's Red Mill Protein Powder Nutritional Booster and I already use a ton of their pantry items, and I've bought them for many years.

Their products are high-quality, and I've never had any issues. I was excited to try out their protein powder because I still haven't found one that I liked. A lot of powders have a chalky texture, and sometimes a weird flavor.

Plus, a lot of them have stevia in them, and I'm not a fan of the aftertaste. I was happy to see that Bob's Red Mill version is sweetened with Monk Fruit. Yay!

Bob's Red Mill was so kind as to send out a package containing three different flavors of protein powder: Vanilla, Chocolate, and Chai. My biggest dilemma was which to try first.

I had a bunch of baked recipes in mind to make, but I wanted to give these powders the smoothie test first and I had my mini taste tester on the job. too.

We opened the Chai flavor first and it smelled heavenly. I couldn't put it down, so it was first in line. I blended 1 cup of almond milk, ½ of a frozen banana, a few ice cubes, and chai powder.

Had to keep it simple, so I could really taste the product. Well, my mind was blown! The smoothie was so creamy without a hint of chalkiness. The Chai flavor was on point and there wasn't an aftertaste.

I made the Chocolate and Vanilla smoothies the same way, and I was equally as impressed. The texture is smooth and blends perfectly. I really like the subtle sweetness of the Monk Fruit, too.

My son tasted all three flavors and decided that chocolate was his favorite. I was totally sold at this point because my kiddo doesn't usually like protein powder.

Now I can make his favorite Vegan Chunky Monkey Smoothie with a dose of extra protein and fiber.

Vegan Protein Muffins (blender muffins)

I love making muffins for my family, especially healthy ones. They are a cinch to make and will keep us fueled until our next meal. They help avoid bad hunger choices too.

I'm also a big fan of quick clean up, and these muffins are perfect for that. The ingredients get tossed into a blender and poured straight into a muffin tin. No bowl...no whisk...no mess. Just bake and enjoy!

The ingredients are simple, and you probably have most of them in your kitchen already. You'll need rolled oats, non-dairy yogurt, ripe bananas, ground flax, maple syrup, vanilla extract, baking powder, baking soda, sea salt, your favorite toppings and Bob's Red Mill Protein Powder Nutritional Booster (*coupon below).

Not only are these muffins nutritious and delicious, but they're also gluten-free, oil-free and of course, vegan!

So, if you've never had blender muffins, you might want to give them a shot. They are slightly denser than your average bakery muffin but completely moist and delicious.

I've made blender muffins many times before, but this was the first time I tried them with protein powder. I was worried they might be a little dry, but they came out perfect.

I just added a bit more dairy-free yogurt than usual. I used Bob's Red Mill Vanilla Protein Powder for this recipe, but their other flavors will work perfectly too. I'm thinking of making Chai Pumpkin muffins next.
