Bake these soft, high-protein cottage cheese blueberry muffins. They stay moist, use simple ingredients, and are ready fast, making them a perfect healthy breakfast or snack for meal prep.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 cup granulated sugar
  • 1 large egg
  • 1 cup cottage cheese, blended smooth
  • 1/4 cup melted unsalted butter or coconut oil
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1/2 cup milk (any type)
  • 1 cup fresh or frozen blueberries

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a 12-cup muffin tin with paper liners or grease well.
  2. In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. Set this dry mixture aside.
  3. In a separate large bowl, whisk the sugar and egg until combined.
  4. Add the blended cottage cheese, melted butter, vanilla extract, and milk to the egg mixture. Mix until just combined.
  5. Gently fold the dry ingredients into the wet ingredients until you have a batter. Do not overmix; a few lumps are fine.
  6. Carefully fold in the blueberries. If using frozen, do not thaw them first.
  7. Distribute the batter evenly among the 12 muffin cups, filling each about two-thirds full.
  8. Bake for 18 to 20 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 smoothest texture, blend your cottage cheese in a food processor or blender until completely smooth before adding it to the wet ingredients. This step is key for moist baked goods.
  • If you want a slight crunch on top, sprinkle a small amount of coarse sugar over the batter before baking.
  • These muffins freeze well for easy meal prep breakfast options. Cool completely, then store in an airtight container in the freezer for up to three months.
