Ingredients

Scale

Dry Ingredients

  • 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1/2 cup sugar
  • 2 teaspoons baking powder
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt

Wet Ingredients

  • 2 large eggs, room temperature
  • 1/2 cup milk
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1/4 cup melted butter or oil
  • 1 cup cottage cheese, room temperature

Fruits

  • 1 cup fresh blueberries

Instructions

  1. Prepare Your Ingredients: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a muffin tin with paper liners or lightly grease it. Make sure cottage cheese and eggs are at room temperature for even mixing.
  2. Mix Dry Ingredients: In a large bowl, whisk together all-purpose flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt until well combined. This distributes the leavening and salt evenly across the batter for balanced taste and texture.
  3. Combine Wet Ingredients: In a separate bowl, beat the eggs, milk, and vanilla extract together. Stir in the melted butter or oil, then gently fold in the cottage cheese to maintain some creamy texture without large lumps.
  4. Bring Wet and Dry Ingredients Together: Make a well in the dry ingredients and pour in the wet mixture. Stir lightly until just combined; avoid overmixing to prevent dense muffins.
  5. Fold in Blueberries: Gently fold fresh blueberries into the batter, distributing them evenly for the best fruit bursts in each muffin.
  6. Bake to Perfection: Divide the batter evenly into the muffin cups, filling about 3/4 full. Bake for 18 to 22 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean. Let muffins cool in the pan for 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.

Notes

  • Use room temperature ingredients to ensure even mixing and better texture.
  • Don’t overmix the batter to avoid tough, dense muffins.
  • Toss blueberries in a little flour before folding in to prevent them from sinking to the bottom.
  • Grease muffin pans well to prevent sticking and breaking apart.
  • Check doneness a few minutes before suggested baking time, as oven temperatures vary.
