I am so glad you are here. These High-Protein Blueberry Cottage Cheese Muffins are moist, fluffy, and packed with protein. They are simple to make and perfect for a quick, satisfying breakfast or a healthy snack you can prepare ahead of time.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 3/4 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 tablespoon baking powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1 cup low-fat cottage cheese
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1/2 cup milk
  • 1/4 cup melted coconut oil or vegetable oil
  • 1/2 cup granulated sugar or preferred sweetener
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 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 it well.
  2. In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, and salt.
  3. In a separate bowl or a blender, combine the cottage cheese, eggs, milk, oil, sugar, and vanilla extract. Blend or whisk until the mixture is mostly smooth. If you prefer a smoother texture, blend the cottage cheese mixture until completely smooth.
  4. Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients. Mix gently with a spatula until just combined. Do not overmix; a few lumps are fine.
  5. Gently fold in the blueberries, being careful not to crush them too much.
  6. Divide the batter evenly among the 12 muffin cups, filling each about two-thirds full.
  7. Bake for 18 to 22 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of a muffin 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 an extra protein boost, you can add 1 scoop of unflavored or vanilla protein powder to the dry ingredients.
  • If using frozen blueberries, do not thaw them before adding them to the batter.
  • These muffins store well in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days, or in the refrigerator for up to a week. They freeze well for up to 3 months.
