Make these soft, moist cottage cheese blueberry muffins. They are packed with protein, quick to prepare, and perfect for a healthy breakfast or meal prep snack.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 cup granulated sugar
  • 1 large egg
  • 1 cup low-fat cottage cheese, blended smooth
  • 1/4 cup melted coconut oil or vegetable oil
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1/2 cup milk (dairy or non-dairy)
  • 1 cup fresh or frozen blueberries

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a 12-cup muffin tin with paper liners or grease well.
  2. In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
  3. In a separate large bowl, whisk the sugar and egg until combined.
  4. Add the blended cottage cheese, oil, vanilla extract, and milk to the egg mixture. Mix until just combined.
  5. Add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients. Mix with a spatula until you see no more dry streaks of flour. Do not overmix; a few lumps are fine.
  6. Gently fold in the blueberries. If using frozen blueberries, do not thaw them first.
  7. Divide the batter evenly among the 12 muffin cups, filling each about two-thirds full.
  8. Bake for 18 to 22 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
  9. Let the muffins cool in the pan for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.

Notes

  • For the fluffiest muffins, blend your cottage cheese in a food processor or blender until completely smooth before adding it to the wet ingredients. This prevents dense spots.
  • These muffins freeze well. Cool them completely, place them in a freezer-safe bag, and freeze for up to three months. Thaw overnight in the refrigerator.
  • If you want a slightly sweeter top, sprinkle a small amount of turbinado sugar over the batter before baking.
