To ensure the best texture, use a whisk for the dry ingredients and a grater for fresh lemon zest. Be careful not to overmix the batter once you combine the wet and dry ingredients, as this can make the muffins dense.

Antworten auf Rezeptfragen
- → Welches Proteinpulver eignet sich am besten?
Pea-, Soja- oder Reismehl-basiertes Proteinpulver mit Vanillegeschmack funktionieren am besten. Achte darauf, dass es gut löslich ist für eine gleichmäßige Textur.
- → Kann ich die Blaubeeren durch andere Früchte ersetzen?
Ja, Himbeeren, Brombeeren oder gehackte Aprikosen funktionieren ebenfalls hervorragend. Bei weicheren Früchten die Menge leicht reduzieren.
- → Wie lagere ich die Muffins am besten?
Kühl und trocken in einer Dose halten sie sich 3-4 Tage. Für längere Haltbarkeit einfrieren – bis zu 2 Monate bei -18°C.
- → Kann ich glutenfreies Mehl verwenden?
Ja, ein glutenfreies Allzweckmehl oder Dinkelmehl funktionieren gut. Achte darauf, ein Mehl mit Xanthan zu wählen für bessere Bindung.
- → Warum sollte man den Teig nicht zu stark verrühren?
Übermäßiges Rühren aktiviert das Gluten und macht die Muffins zäh statt fluffig. Nur kurz verrühren bis alles gerade feucht ist.
