Make moist, fluffy, high protein blueberry cottage cheese muffins using your blender for easy preparation. These are perfect for a healthy breakfast or meal prep snack.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup cottage cheese
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1/4 cup melted coconut oil or vegetable oil
  • 1/4 cup maple syrup or honey
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 cup all-purpose flour or oat flour
  • 1/2 cup protein powder (vanilla or unflavored)
  • 2 teaspoons baking powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1 cup fresh or frozen blueberries

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a 12-cup muffin tin with paper liners or grease well.
  2. Combine the cottage cheese, eggs, oil, maple syrup, and vanilla extract in a blender. Blend until completely smooth. This step is key for a moist texture.
  3. In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, protein powder, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
  4. Pour the wet mixture from the blender into the dry ingredients. Mix gently with a spatula until just combined. Do not overmix.
  5. Gently fold in the blueberries. If using frozen blueberries, do not thaw them first.
  6. Divide the batter evenly among the 12 muffin cups. Fill each cup about two-thirds full.
  7. Bake for 18 to 22 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
  8. Let the muffins cool in the tin for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.

Notes

  • For freezer friendly storage, cool the muffins completely, then place them in an airtight, freezer-safe bag. They keep well for up to three months.
  • If you prefer a banana flavor, substitute 1/2 cup of the cottage cheese with one ripe, mashed banana, and omit the blueberries.
  • To make these gluten free, use a 1:1 gluten free flour blend instead of all-purpose flour.
