Total Time: 30 mins
Cuisine: American
Serves: 12 muffins
Ingredients
- 1 cup cottage cheese
- 1 cup blueberries
- 1 cup flour
- 1/2 cup sugar
- 1/4 cup vegetable oil
- 2 eggs
- 2 teaspoons baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a 12-cup muffin tin with paper liners or lightly grease with cooking spray.
- In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt until well combined.
- In a separate bowl, mix the cottage cheese, vegetable oil, and eggs until smooth and well blended.
- Gently fold the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients, stirring just until the mixture is combined. Be careful not to overmix.
- Carefully fold in the fresh blueberries, ensuring they are evenly distributed throughout the batter.
- Divide the batter evenly among the prepared muffin cups, filling each about 2/3 to 3/4 full.
- Place the muffin tin in the preheated oven and bake for 18-20 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of a muffin comes out clean.
- Remove from the oven and let the muffins cool in the tin for 5 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.
- Serve warm or at room temperature. Store in an airtight container for up to 3 days.
Tips
- Use Fresh Blueberries: For the best flavor and texture, opt for fresh blueberries. If using frozen, be sure to thaw and drain them to avoid excess moisture in the batter.
- Don’t Overmix: When combining the wet and dry ingredients, mix just until combined. Overmixing can lead to dense muffins, so be gentle!
- Check for Doneness: Ovens can vary, so start checking your muffins at the 18-minute mark. They’re done when a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
- Add a Topping: For an extra crunch, consider sprinkling a little sugar or a streusel topping on the muffins before baking.
- Store Properly: Keep your muffins in an airtight container at room temperature for up to three days, or freeze them for longer storage. Just pop them in the microwave for a few seconds to warm them up!
