Ingredients
Scale
Main Ingredients:
- 1 cup cottage cheese
- 1 cup blueberries
- 2 eggs
- 1 cup whole wheat flour
Wet Ingredients:
- 1/4 cup honey
- 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
Dry Ingredients:
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
Instructions
- Prepare the oven at 350°F (175°C) and prepare a muffin tin with paper liners or light grease coating.
- Create a smooth mixture by whisking cottage cheese, honey, eggs, and vanilla extract in a large mixing bowl until well incorporated.
- Introduce whole wheat flour and baking powder to the wet ingredients, stirring carefully to maintain a light texture without excessive mixing.
- Incorporate fresh blueberries into the batter using a gentle folding technique to distribute them evenly without crushing.
- Carefully portion the batter into muffin cups, filling each approximately two-thirds full to allow room for rising during baking.
- Transfer the muffin tin to the preheated oven and bake for 20-25 minutes, monitoring until a toothpick inserted into the center emerges clean and dry.
- Remove from the oven and let the muffins rest for a few minutes, allowing them to slightly cool and set before transferring to a serving plate.
Notes
- Ensure cottage cheese is at room temperature for smooth blending and better texture.
- Frozen blueberries work great, but don’t thaw them to prevent color bleeding into batter.
- Swap honey with maple syrup or agave for alternative sweetness profiles.
- For gluten-free version, replace whole wheat flour with almond or oat flour to maintain moistness.
