  • Yield: 7 jumbo muffins 1x

Description

These Cottage Cheese Blueberry Muffins are soft, fluffy, and bursting with juicy blueberries and warm cinnamon in every bite. Made in just one bowl, they’re easy to whip up and perfect for breakfast, snacks, or meal prep!


Ingredients

Scale
  • 1/4 cup coconut oil (melted. may sub any other oil or butter)
  • 1/2 cup coconut sugar (may sub cane sugar or monk fruit sweetener)
  • 1 tsp vanilla bean paste or vanilla extract
  • 1 cup plain whole milk cottage cheese (I like Good Culture)
  • 1/4 cup milk (any nut or seed milk works)
  • 2 eggs
  • 1.5 cups all purpose flour
  • 1 tsp baking soda
  • 1/4 tsp salt
  • 1/2 tsp ground cinnamon
  • 1 cup fresh blueberries (tossed in flour)

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 375F and prepare a muffin tin by lining it with muffin liners in every other muffin cavity. Grease the muffin liners with non-stick spray, just to be sure they don’t stick.
  2. In a large bowl mix together the melted coconut oil, coconut sugar, vanilla, milk, and eggs. Whisk until ingredients are well incorporated. Then, mix in the cottage cheese.
  3. Next, add in the flour, baking soda, salt, and cinnamon and use a rubber spatula to fold until ingredients are just incorporated.
  4. Toss the fresh blueberries in a touch of flour until each one is well coated. Then add them into the batter and gently fold until they are well incorporated.
  5. Use a double cookie scoop or spoon to add batter to muffin tins. Top with extra blueberries if desired.
  6. Bake for 23-25 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
  7. Let cool completely before removing from the liners to help prevent sticking. Enjoy muffins warm for best results.

Notes

Tossing the fresh blueberries in flour before adding to the batter prevents them from sinking to the bottom during baking. Bake muffins using every other muffin cavity, this will allow each muffin to really pop during baking.
