These Blueberry Cottage Cheese Muffins are a delightful and wholesome treat, perfect for breakfast or a healthy snack. Packed with protein from cottage cheese and bursting with the natural sweetness of blueberries, these muffins are both nutritious and delicious. They are easy to make and require simple ingredients, making them a great option for busy mornings or meal prep.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup cottage cheese
  • 1 cup fresh or frozen blueberries
  • 1 cup whole wheat flour
  • 1/4 cup honey
  • 2 eggs
  • 1 tsp baking powder
  • 1/2 tsp vanilla extract

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a muffin tin with paper liners or lightly grease the cups to prevent sticking.
  2. Mix wet ingredients: In a large bowl, combine the cottage cheese, honey, eggs, and vanilla extract. Mix until smooth and well combined.
  3. Add dry ingredients: Gently fold in the whole wheat flour and baking powder. Mix until just combined—avoid overmixing to keep the muffins light and fluffy.
  4. Fold in blueberries: Carefully fold in the blueberries, ensuring they are evenly distributed throughout the batter.
  5. Fill muffin cups: Divide the batter evenly among the muffin cups, filling each about 3/4 full.
  6. Bake: Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of a muffin comes out clean.
  7. Cool and serve: Allow the muffins to cool in the tin for 5 minutes, then transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely. Enjoy warm or at room temperature!

Notes

  • Frozen blueberries: If using frozen blueberries, do not thaw them before adding to the batter. This prevents them from bleeding too much into the muffin mixture.
  • Sweetness adjustment: If you prefer sweeter muffins, you can increase the honey to 1/3 cup or add a sprinkle of sugar on top before baking.
  • Storage: Store muffins in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 2 days or in the refrigerator for up to 5 days. They can also be frozen for up to 3 months.
  • Add-ins: Feel free to add a handful of nuts, oats, or a dash of cinnamon for extra flavor and texture.
