Ingredients
Scale
- 1 cup cottage cheese
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 1/2 cup sugar (or sweetener of choice)
- 2 large eggs
- 1/2 cup milk
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1 cup fresh or frozen blueberries
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Prepare a muffin tin by lining it with paper liners or lightly greasing it.
- Combine cottage cheese, eggs, milk, and vanilla extract in a large bowl. Mix until smooth and well blended.
- Whisk together all-purpose flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and salt in a separate bowl.
- Fold the dry ingredients into the wet mixture, avoiding overmixing. Combine until just incorporated.
- Gently fold in the blueberries to ensure they’re evenly distributed throughout the batter.
- Spoon the batter evenly into the prepared muffin cups.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 18-20 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
- Allow the muffins to cool in the pan for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Notes
These muffins can be served warm with a smear of butter, or a drizzle of honey, and pair wonderfully with coffee or tea.
