Ingredients

Scale

Dry Ingredients

  • 1½ cups all-purpose flour
  • 2 teaspoons baking powder
  • ⅓ cup sugar
  • ½ teaspoon salt

Wet Ingredients

  • 1 cup cottage cheese
  • 2 large eggs
  • ½ cup milk
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Fruits

  • 1 cup fresh blueberries

Instructions

  1. Prepare Your Ingredients: Start by gathering all your ingredients and preheating your oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a muffin tin with paper liners or lightly grease it to ensure your muffins release easily after baking.
  2. Mix Dry Ingredients: In a large bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking powder, sugar, and salt. This ensures all dry components are evenly combined to help your muffins rise beautifully.
  3. Combine Wet Ingredients: In another bowl, beat the eggs lightly, then add the cottage cheese, milk, and vanilla extract. Stir until the mixture is uniform but still slightly lumpy from the cottage cheese, which adds moisture and texture.
  4. Fold in Wet and Dry Ingredients: Gradually add the wet ingredients into the dry mixture, folding gently just until combined. Avoid overmixing to keep the muffins light and tender.
  5. Add Blueberries: Gently fold the fresh blueberries into the batter, distributing them evenly without breaking the berries to prevent blue streaks in your muffins.
  6. Bake the Muffins: Spoon the batter into the prepared muffin tin, filling each cup about two-thirds full. Bake for 18-22 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean. Let cool for a few minutes before transferring to a rack.

Notes

  • Use eggs and milk at room temperature to help the batter mix more evenly.
  • Do not overmix the batter to keep muffins light and fluffy.
  • Coat blueberries lightly in flour before folding to prevent sinking.
  • Fresh blueberries are preferred for best flavor; frozen works well too.
  • Check muffins with a toothpick at minimum baking time to avoid overbaking.
