Chocolate-Blueberry Protein Muffins: Recipe with Bone Broth Protein
These chocolate-blueberry muffins are extra moist, chocolatey, and fruity, and they provide an extra dose of protein thanks to bone broth protein (bone broth powder). They’re the perfect snack for between meals and are super easy to make.
Instead of traditional blueberry muffins, this recipe uses bananas or applesauce for natural sweetness, oat or spelt flour as a base, and bone broth powder as a protein-rich addition. The result is a muffin that not only tastes like dessert but also works as a protein-rich snack on the go.

Frequently Asked Questions About the Chocolate-Blueberry Protein Muffins
Can you taste the bone broth protein in the muffins?
The flavor is subtly neutral and is masked by cocoa, bananas, and blueberries.
Can I substitute applesauce for bananas?
Yes, both ingredients are interchangeable in the recipe. About 200 g of unsweetened applesauce is equivalent to 2 ripe bananas.
Can I bake the muffins without Bone Broth Protein?
Yes, the basic recipe works even without bone broth powder, though it won't have the added protein.
Can I use fresh blueberries instead of frozen ones?
Yes, both methods work. You shouldn't let frozen blueberries thaw to prevent the dough from becoming too moist.
Why is my dough turning completely blue?
If you stir the blueberries in too vigorously instead of gently folding them in, they'll burst and discolor the entire batter.
How long do the protein muffins last?
Store in an airtight container at room temperature for 3–4 days. They can also be frozen individually without any problems.
