Instructions

Step 1: Preheat the Oven
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
Line a muffin tin with paper liners or grease with nonstick spray.

Step 2: Mix the Dry Ingredients
In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, and cinnamon. Set aside.

Step 3: Combine the Wet Ingredients
In another bowl, whisk the eggs.
Add cottage cheese, honey (or maple syrup), milk, oil, and vanilla.
Mix until well combined—some lumps from the cottage cheese are fine.

Step 4: Combine Wet and Dry
Pour the wet mixture into the dry ingredients and stir just until combined.
Do not overmix—it’s okay if the batter is a bit lumpy.

Step 5: Fold in the Blueberries
Toss blueberries in 1 tbsp of flour (this helps prevent them from sinking).
Gently fold them into the batter with a spatula.

Step 6: Fill the Muffin Tins
Spoon the batter into the prepared muffin cups, filling each about ¾ full.
Add a few extra blueberries on top for visual appeal, if desired.

Step 7: Bake the Muffins
Bake for 18–22 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
The tops should be lightly golden.

Step 8: Cool and Serve
Let the muffins cool in the pan for 5 minutes.
Transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.
Enjoy warm or store for later.

Notes

Use Room Temperature Ingredients – Helps everything blend smoothly.
Don’t Overmix – Stir just until the dry ingredients are moistened.
Check Early – Oven times vary, so check at 18 minutes to avoid overbaking.
Use Full-Fat Cottage Cheese – It adds the best moisture and richness.
Add Texture – Sprinkle oats or chopped nuts on top before baking.
