Ingredients
Scale
- 1 cup cottage cheese (2% or full fat)
- 2 large eggs
- 1/4 cup melted coconut oil or neutral oil
- 1/4 cup maple syrup or honey
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 cup oat flour (or all-purpose flour)
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1 cup fresh or frozen blueberries
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a 12-cup muffin tin with paper liners or grease well.
- Combine the cottage cheese, eggs, melted oil, maple syrup, and vanilla extract in a blender. Blend until completely smooth. This step is key for a creamy texture.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together the oat flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
- Pour the wet mixture from the blender into the dry ingredients. Mix gently with a spatula until just combined. Do not overmix.
- Gently fold in the blueberries. If using frozen blueberries, do not thaw them first.
- Divide the batter evenly among the 12 muffin cups, filling each about two-thirds full.
- Bake for 18 to 22 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
- Let the muffins cool in the pan for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Notes
- For the best texture, use a high-powered blender to ensure the cottage cheese is fully incorporated.
- These muffins freeze well. Store cooled muffins in an airtight container in the freezer for up to three months. Thaw overnight on the counter or microwave briefly.
- If you prefer a less sweet muffin, reduce the maple syrup to 3 tablespoons.
