      • 2 tablespoons brown sugar or coconut sugar<\/li>\n
      • 1\/2 teaspoon cinnamon<\/li>\n
      • 2 tablespoons cold butter, cubed<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

        \u00a0Step-by-Step Instructions<\/h2>\n

        \u00a0Step 1: Preheat and Prepare<\/h3>\n

        Preheat your oven to 350\u00b0F (180\u00b0C)<\/strong>.
        \nLine a muffin tin with paper liners or lightly grease it with oil or butter to prevent sticking.<\/p>\n

        Step 2: Mix Dry Ingredients<\/h3>\n

        In a large mixing bowl, whisk together:<\/p>\n

          \n
        • Flour<\/li>\n
        • Protein powder<\/li>\n
        • Baking powder<\/li>\n
        • Baking soda<\/li>\n
        • Salt<\/li>\n
        • Cinnamon<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

          Make sure everything is evenly combined to avoid clumps.<\/p>\n

          \u00a0Step 3: Mix Wet Ingredients<\/h3>\n

          In a separate bowl, combine:<\/p>\n

            \n
          • Eggs<\/li>\n
          • Greek yogurt<\/li>\n
          • Maple syrup (or honey)<\/li>\n
          • Milk<\/li>\n
          • Melted coconut oil (or butter)<\/li>\n
          • Vanilla extract<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

            Whisk until smooth and creamy.<\/p>\n

            Step 4: Combine Wet and Dry Mixtures<\/h3>\n

            Slowly pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients.
            \nGently mix until just combined.<\/p>\n

            Do not overmix<\/strong> \u2014 this can make the muffins dense instead of fluffy.<\/p>\n

            \u00a0Step 5: Fold in Blueberries<\/h3>\n

            Carefully fold in the blueberries using a spatula.<\/p>\n

            Tip: If using frozen blueberries, do not thaw them to avoid excess moisture and color bleeding.<\/p>\n

            \u00a0Step 6: Prepare the Streusel Topping<\/h3>\n

            In a small bowl:<\/p>\n

              \n
            1. Mix flour, sugar, and cinnamon<\/li>\n
            2. Add cold butter cubes<\/li>\n
            3. Use your fingers or a fork to crumble until the texture resembles coarse sand<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

              \u00a0Step 7: Assemble the Muffins<\/h3>\n
                \n
              • Fill each muffin cup about 3\/4 full<\/strong> with batter<\/li>\n
              • Sprinkle a generous amount of streusel topping over each muffin<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

                \u00a0Step 8: Bake<\/h3>\n

                Bake in the preheated oven for 18\u201322 minutes<\/strong>, or until:<\/p>\n

                  \n
                • The tops are golden brown<\/li>\n
                • A toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

                  \u00a0Step 9: Cool and Serve<\/h3>\n

                  Let the muffins cool in the pan for about 5 minutes, then transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely.<\/p>\n

                  Serve warm or at room temperature.<\/p>\n

                  • For extra sweetness, sprinkle a tiny bit of sugar on top before baking<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

                    \u00a0Variations<\/h2>\n

                          \u00a0FAQs<\/h2>\n

                          Can I skip the streusel topping?<\/strong>

                          Can I use only protein powder without flour?<\/strong>
                          \nNot recommended \u2014 it will make the texture too dry and dense.<\/p>\n

                          What type of protein powder works best?<\/strong>
                          \nWhey or a whey-casein blend gives the best texture, but plant-based works too (may need extra liquid).<\/p>\n
