Ingredients
Scale
Main Ingredients:
- 1 cup cottage cheese
- 1 cup blueberries
- 1 cup whole wheat flour
- 2 large eggs
Supporting Ingredients:
- ¼ cup honey
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- ½ teaspoon vanilla extract
Optional Add-Ins:
- ¼ cup chopped nuts
- ½ teaspoon cinnamon
Instructions
- Warm your oven to 350F and prepare a muffin tin with paper liners or non-stick spray.
- Whisk 1 cup cottage cheese, ¼ cup honey, 2 large eggs, and ½ teaspoon vanilla extract until the mixture looks smooth and well-blended.
- In a separate bowl, combine 1 cup whole wheat flour with 1 teaspoon baking powder, then slowly incorporate these dry ingredients into the wet mixture.
- Stir the batter gently until just combined, being careful not to overmix and create tough muffins.
- Carefully fold 1 cup blueberries into the batter, ensuring they are evenly distributed throughout.
- Distribute the batter into 12 muffin cups, filling each about ¾ full for perfect rising.
- Sprinkle optional ¼ cup chopped nuts or ½ teaspoon cinnamon on top of the muffins before baking.
- Slide the muffin tin into the 350F oven and bake for 22-25 minutes until a toothpick comes out clean.
- Remove the muffins and let them rest in the tin for 5 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.
Notes
- Freezing these muffins works perfectly, so make a double batch and store extras for quick breakfasts.
- Swap fresh blueberries with frozen ones without thawing, but dust them lightly in flour first to prevent sinking.
- For a protein boost, consider adding a scoop of unflavored protein powder to the dry ingredients.
- Gluten-free bakers can substitute whole wheat flour with almond or oat flour for a similar texture.
