Ingredients

1 cup cottage cheese

1 cup fresh blueberries

1 cup all-purpose flour

1/2 cup rolled oats

2 large eggs

1/3 cup honey or maple syrup

1 tsp baking powder

1 tsp vanilla extract

1/4 cup milk

1/4 tsp salt

1 tsp lemon zest (optional)

Instructions

1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a muffin tin with paper liners or grease it lightly.

2. In a blender, combine cottage cheese, eggs, milk, honey (or maple syrup), and vanilla extract. Blend until smooth.

3. In a large bowl, whisk together flour, oats, baking powder, and salt.

4. Pour the wet mixture into the dry ingredients and gently mix until just combined.

5. Fold in the blueberries carefully to avoid crushing them.

6. Divide the batter evenly into the muffin cups, filling each about 3/4 full.

7. Bake for 18–22 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.

8. Let the muffins cool for 5 minutes in the pan, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.

Notes

Blend the cottage cheese thoroughly for a smooth batter and better texture.

Do not overmix the batter to keep the muffins light and fluffy.

Toss blueberries in a little flour before adding to prevent sinking.
