Step-by-Step Instructions for Strawberry Protein Muffins

  3. Add almond flour, baking powder, vanilla extract, and ground cinnamon to the mixture and stir until well mixed.
  4. Fold in the diced strawberries carefully to distribute evenly throughout the batter.
  5. Spoon the batter evenly into each muffin cup, filling each one about three-quarters full.
  6. Bake for 18 to 20 minutes or until golden brown and a toothpick comes out clean.
  7. Remove from oven and allow to cool in the tin for about 5 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack.
