Equipment

  • 12 cup muffin pan

Ingredients

  • 1 ¾ cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 ½ teaspoon baking powder
  • ½ teaspoon baking soda
  • ¼ teaspoon salt
  • ¾ cup cottage cheese
  • ⅓ cup vegetable oil or melted butter
  • ⅔ cup granulated sugar
  • 2 large eggs
  • 2 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • ⅓ cup milk
  • 1 cup fresh or frozen blueberries if frozen, do not thaw)
  • 1-2 tablespoons all-purpose flour for coating blueberries

Instructions

  • Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a 12-cup muffin tin with paper liners or grease it lightly.
  • In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. Set aside.
  • In a medium bowl, whisk the cottage cheese, vegetable oil (or melted butter), and sugar together.
  • Whisk in the eggs one at a time, then the vanilla extract and milk.
  • Make a well in the centre of the dry ingredients, then pour in the wet mixture and gently stir to combine. Do not beat or overmix to keep the muffins tender.
  • Toss the blueberries with 1–2 tablespoons of flour. This prevents them from sinking to the bottom of the muffins.
  • Gently fold the blueberries into the batter.
  • Divide the batter evenly among the prepared muffin cups, filling each about ¾ full.
  • Bake in the preheated oven for 18–22 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of a muffin comes out clean.
  • Let the muffins cool in the tin for 5 minutes, then transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely.
