Make soft, fluffy cottage cheese blueberry muffins perfect for a high-protein breakfast or quick snack. This easy recipe uses blended cottage cheese for a moist texture that is ideal for meal prep.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 1 cup low-fat cottage cheese, blended until smooth
  • 1/2 cup granulated sugar
  • 1/4 cup melted coconut oil or vegetable oil
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1/2 cup milk (any kind)
  • 1 1/2 cups 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 soda, baking powder, salt, and cinnamon. Set aside.
  3. In a large bowl, combine the smooth cottage cheese, sugar, melted oil, eggs, and vanilla extract. Whisk until well combined.
  4. Pour the milk into the wet ingredients and mix briefly.
  5. Add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients. Mix only until just combined. 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 it is completely smooth before adding it to the wet ingredients.
  • If you want a slightly sweeter muffin, you can add 1 tablespoon of maple syrup to the wet ingredients.
  • These muffins freeze well. Cool them completely, then store them in an airtight container in the freezer for up to three months.
