Ingredients
Scale
- 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1/2 cup granulated sugar
- 2 tsp baking powder
- 1/2 tsp salt
- 1/2 cup cottage cheese
- 1/2 cup milk
- 1/4 cup vegetable oil
- 1 egg
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 1 cup fresh blueberries
- Optional toppings: streusel topping, coarse sugar
Instructions
- Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a muffin tin with paper liners.
- Mix the Dry Ingredients: In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt.
- Mix the Wet Ingredients: In another bowl, combine the cottage cheese, milk, vegetable oil, egg, and vanilla extract. Mix until smooth.
- Combine the Ingredients: Add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients and stir until just combined. Be careful not to overmix.
- Add the Blueberries: Gently fold in the blueberries.
- Fill the Muffin Tin: Divide the batter evenly among the muffin cups. If using, sprinkle the streusel topping or coarse sugar on top.
- Bake: Bake for 20-25 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of a muffin comes out clean.
- Cool: Let the muffins cool in the tin for 5 minutes, then transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Notes
- Use Fresh Blueberries: Fresh blueberries will give you the best flavor and texture, but you can use frozen blueberries in a pinch. Just don’t thaw them before adding to the batter.
- Don’t Overmix: Overmixing the batter can lead to tough muffins. Stir until just combined.
- Add a Topping: A streusel topping or coarse sugar adds a nice crunch and extra sweetness.
- Freeze Leftovers: These muffins freeze beautifully. Just let them cool completely, then store in an airtight container in the freezer for up to 3 months.
