Description
Deliciously moist muffins made with cottage cheese and bursting with blueberries.
Ingredients
Scale
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 2 teaspoons baking powder
- ½ teaspoon baking soda
- ½ teaspoon salt
- 6 tablespoons unsalted butter (melted)
- ¼ cup granulated sugar
- 2 large eggs
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 cup cottage cheese (blended until smooth)
- 1 cup fresh blueberries or frozen blueberries
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Line a 12-cup muffin pan with paper liners or use a silicone muffin pan and spray lightly with non-stick cooking spray.
- Melt 6 tablespoons of butter and set aside.
- Using a blender or food processor, blend the cottage cheese until it’s smooth and creamy; set aside.
- In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt; set aside.
- In another large mixing bowl, using a mixer, beat the melted butter and sugar together for 5 minutes until the mixture is light and fluffy.
- Add the eggs one at a time to the butter/sugar mixture, mixing well with each addition.
- Add the vanilla extract and the smooth cottage cheese, and continue mixing until just combined, without overmixing.
- Combine the dry ingredients with the wet ingredients and use a rubber spatula to mix just until the dry ingredients are combined. The batter will be thick.
- Add the blueberries and fold them into the batter.
- Using a large cookie scoop, scoop the muffin batter into each of the muffin tins; you can make 13-14 muffins, so you may have some left over.
- Bake muffins for 20-25 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the middle comes out clean.
- Remove the muffin pan from the oven and let the muffins cool completely in the muffin pan. Enjoy!
Notes
- For best results, use fresh blueberries if available.
- These muffins can be frozen for later enjoyment.
