Unexpectedly good Blueberry Sausage Protein Muffins loaded with flavor and nutrition, and has no oil, butter or sugar! Healthy breakfast sausage and blueberry muffins use protein powder for sweetness and are a great mix of sweet and savory.
Preheat oven to 425°F, grease 14 muffin cups - 12-cup pan and 2 more with cooking spray.
In a large bowl, whisk together whole wheat pastry flour, vanilla protein powder, unflavored protein powder, stevia sweetener, baking powder, baking soda and cinnamon.
In another bowl, whisk applesauce, Greek yogurt, almond milk and eggs.
Add dry mix to wet, and gently fold until combined.
Place blueberries (reserve a few for topping) in a bowl, sprinkle with extra flour and toss to coat.
Required to prevent them from sinking to the bottom.
Add blueberries and chopped sausage into batter, and gently fold again.
DO NOT OVER-MIX or too much gluten will form from the wheat flour, and make the muffins dense.
Divide the batter among muffin cups, about ¾ way to the top.
Bake for 5 minutes, then reduce temperature to 350°F (leaving muffins in oven) and bake another 13-15 minutes (total of 18-23 min).
A toothpick inserted into center should come out dry.
Cool for 10 minutes, then remove pan. Transfer to a wire rack to cool completely, about 15 minutes, and enjoy.
