Description
Moist, tender muffins brimming with juicy blueberries and enhanced by creamy cottage cheese—perfect for breakfast, snacks, or brunch.
Ingredients
1 cup cottage cheese (smooth or small-curd)
1/2 cup milk (dairy or non-dairy)
2 large eggs
1/3 cup sugar (or honey/maple syrup)
2 cups all-purpose flour
2 tsp baking powder
1/2 tsp baking soda
1/4 tsp salt
1 tsp vanilla extract
1–1¼ cups fresh or frozen blueberries
Optional: 1/4 cup chopped nuts or lemon zest
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 375 °F and line a 12‑cup muffin tin with paper liners or lightly grease it.
- In a large bowl, whisk together cottage cheese, milk, eggs, sugar, and vanilla extract until smooth.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
- Gently fold the dry ingredients into the wet mixture until almost combined.
- Fold in blueberries and optional nuts or lemon zest, being careful not to overmix.
- Divide the batter evenly among the muffin cups, filling each about ¾ full.
- Bake for 18–22 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean and the tops are lightly golden.
- Let muffins cool in the tin for 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool slightly.
Notes
Substitute half the flour with whole wheat for added fiber.
Add 1 tsp lemon zest for a bright lemon-blueberry twist.
Top with oats or oat crumble before baking for texture.
Stir in vanilla protein powder for a protein boost.
Add ½ tsp cinnamon or nutmeg for a spiced version.
