how can we help?

High-protein, gluten-free muffin batter designed to make healthy eating simple. Our frozen, ready-to-bake batter fits seamlessly into meal prep. Just thaw, squeeze, and bake for balanced muffins you can enjoy all week.

Unlike traditional muffins or boxed mixes, Batch Balanced is a high-protein, gluten-free option made with balanced ingredients and ready to go when you are. It comes premixed and frozen. Just thaw, squeeze, and bake. No measuring, no mixing, no extra steps. Compared to starting from scratch, it saves time while still giving you something you can feel good about eating. And compared to protein bars or shakes, it offers the same convenience but with real, nourishing ingredients like Greek yogurt, egg whites, oats, almond flour, and even savory options made with meat and cheese—all with the taste of fresh-baked muffins.

Batch Balanced is for anyone who wants an easier way to eat well—for parents juggling drop-offs, professionals powering through long days, empty nesters simplifying meal prep, macro trackers, meal preppers, athletes, and anyone trying to eat well without overthinking it. Each muffin gives you lasting energy from protein, healthy fats, and complex carbs. They're made to move with you. Grab two muffins before the gym, between meetings, or on the sidelines at practice.

Think homemade muffin meets balanced nutrition. They're moist, satisfying, and taste like real food—not a protein bar.

The name reflects exactly what you’re getting: a batch of muffins made with balanced macronutrients to help stabilize blood sugar—bringing together ingredients in the right proportions to create a well-rounded, nourishing option.

We offer both sweet and savory flavors throughout the year. Seasonal flavors rotate, so check our shop for current availability.

Yes! Many customers enjoy Batch Balanced as a balanced meal, while others pair it with simple sides depending on their appetite, age, activity level, and nutrition goals. Each serving provides a satisfying amount of protein and healthy fats, with room to add fiber-rich carbohydrates like fresh fruit. For kids especially, we love pairing Batch with fruit, yogurt, milk, or veggies to create a well-rounded meal that supports growth and keeps them satisfied. There isn't one 'perfect' macro target for everyone—children, women, and men all have different nutritional needs. We designed Batch to make the protein part of the meal easy, so you can simply add a few wholesome sides to fit your family's needs.

They have a lightly sweet flavor without being overly sweet like many traditional bakery muffins.

Absolutely. Many customers use Batch Balanced for breakfast, lunchboxes, after-school snacks, and sports practices.

Many customers looking to support blood sugar balance enjoy Batch Balanced because of the protein, fiber, and balanced ingredient profile. Individual needs vary, so we recommend consulting your healthcare provider for personalized guidance.

We use a combination of Greek yogurt, egg whites, ham for the Ham + Swiss, ground turkey for the Turkey Sausage + Cheddar and Turkey Tex Mex and a small amount of hydrolyzed whey protein for sweet muffins.

Each batch makes: 12 standard muffins (6 servings) or 48 mini muffins (6 servings).

One serving is: 2 standard muffins or 8 mini muffins.

Depending on the flavor, our muffins contain approximately 16–24 grams of protein per serving.

Yes! All flavors are made with gluten-free oats and almond flour.

Nope! Just thaw, squeeze, and bake. We highly recommend adding your favorite toppings before baking like chocolate chips, nuts, fruit or a sprinkle of oats—to make each batch your own and add even more variety.

Absolutely. If you can fill a muffin pan, you can make Batch Balanced.

Because our batter uses non-traditional ingredients like Greek yogurt, which create a softer, more delicate texture, we highly recommend using a silicone muffin pan for the best results and easiest cleanup.

If you're using a mini muffin pan, you'll want to adjust both the portioning and bake time. Each Batch makes about 48 mini muffins. For best results, we recommend using half the bag at a time—fill your mini muffin pan, bake, and then use the remaining batter for a second batch. Since mini muffins are smaller, you'll also need to cut the bake time roughly in half. Keep an eye on them and remove from the oven once they're set and lightly golden.

Yes, though baking times and results may vary, and you may notice quicker browning before the muffins are fully cooked through the middle.

Yes, we recommend lightly spraying your silicone pan before adding the batter. Coconut oil tends to work best for easy release. While other oils can be used, we've found avocado oil doesn't always perform as well.

Yes, placing your silicone pan on a baking sheet makes it much easier to transfer in and out of the oven. Silicone pans can be flexible and a bit unstable on their own, so the baking sheet provides extra support and helps prevent spills.

Absolutely! Many customers add: Chocolate chips, Fresh fruit (berries, bananas, peaches, chopped apples), Nuts, Nut butters, Coconut, and Dried fruit.

Once cooled, baked muffins should be stored in the refrigerator and enjoyed within 7 days. For longer storage, baked muffins can also be frozen and enjoyed later—just thaw at room temperature or warm gently before eating.

After baking, allow muffins to cool completely. Store them in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 7 days, or freeze them for longer storage.

Yes! Customers have used Batch Balanced batter to make: Pancakes, Waffles, Mini muffins, Donuts, Loaves, and Cakes.

Batch Balanced batter can be stored in the freezer for up to 12 months.

Yes. For best results, we recommend thawing and baking the entire batch. Once baked, the muffins can be refrigerated for up to 7 days or frozen for longer storage.

For best results, we recommend thawing and baking the entire batch once it has been defrosted. We do not recommend refreezing thawed batter.

Yes! Many customers bake multiple flavors at once—often 4–6 batches—and then freeze the finished muffins in ready-to-grab 2-packs. This makes it easy to mix up flavors throughout the week instead of eating the same one every day. Simply thaw or warm as needed for a quick breakfast or snack.

Absolutely. Enjoy them cold, at room temperature, or warm them in the microwave, toaster oven, or air fryer (our favorite way to enjoy).

Freezing allows us to preserve freshness without relying on preservatives while giving you fresh-baked muffins whenever you want them.

Because fresh-baked simply tastes better. By freezing the batter instead of the finished muffin, you get warm, freshly baked muffins whenever you're ready—plus the pride of making them yourself and the flexibility to add your own toppings for extra variety.

Yes! We ship frozen orders throughout the lower 48 states.

Freezing allows us to preserve freshness without relying on unnecessary preservatives. Instead of receiving muffins that were baked weeks or months ago, you get to enjoy fresh-baked muffins whenever you're ready.

Every Batch order is packed in an insulated shipping box with dry ice to help keep your batter frozen throughout its journey. We carefully schedule shipments and use expedited transit times so your order arrives ready for your freezer.

Dry ice keeps your Batch frozen during transit. It's normal for some—or even all—of the dry ice to have evaporated by the time your package arrives. As long as your batter is still cold to the touch, it's perfectly safe to place it in your freezer.

Don't panic! Dry ice naturally evaporates during shipping. If your batter is still cold to the touch, it's generally safe to place it in your freezer. If you have concerns, please contact us.

Orders ship on Mondays to ensure they arrive within the same week. Most orders are delivered on Tuesday or Wednesday.

We ship on Mondays so your order spends as little time in transit as possible and avoids sitting in a warehouse over the weekend. This helps ensure your Batch arrives in the best possible condition.

In certain locations, ground shipping would take too long to keep your order safely frozen. When that's the case, we automatically offer 2-day air as the only option to make sure your batter arrives in the best possible condition.

Orders over $100 qualify for free 1–2-day ground shipping. In some areas, we're only able to ship via 2-day air to ensure your order arrives safely, and those shipments are not eligible for free shipping.

Shipping frozen food is very different than shipping shelf-stable products. Every order requires an insulated shipping box, dry ice, protective packaging, and expedited shipping to keep your batter frozen and safe during transit. We cover a portion of these costs on every order because we believe everyone should have access to convenient, nourishing food—even if they don't live near us.

Many customers stock their freezer with multiple batches at once. Since the shipping materials stay about the same whether you're ordering a few batches or filling your freezer, larger orders often provide the best overall value.

Yes! We offer local delivery in the Des Moines and Davenport areas.

Local delivery is a flat $7 fee. Orders over $100 qualify for free delivery.

Yes! Weekly pickup options are available in West Des Moines, and additional pickup arrangements may be available in Davenport.

If you forgot to add items to your order, please email us at hello@batchbalanced.com and we will do our best to add items to your order.
