Ingredients

Dry Ingredients

  • 1 1/2 cup all-purpose flour
  • 3/4 cup coconut sugar
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1 teaspoon cinnamon

Wet Ingredients

  • 2 eggs
  • 1 cup cottage cheese
  • 1/4 cup coconut oil or any other oil of your choice

Fruit

  • 1 cup fresh blueberries

Instructions

  1. Preheat and prepare muffin tin: Preheat your oven to 180°C (350°F) and line a muffin tin with paper liners to prevent sticking and ease cleanup.
  2. Mix wet ingredients: In a large bowl, combine the coconut sugar, coconut oil, eggs, and cottage cheese. Stir thoroughly by hand until the mixture is smooth and evenly blended.
  3. Add dry ingredients: Add the all-purpose flour, cinnamon, baking powder, and baking soda into the wet mixture. Stir gently to combine, being careful not to overmix to ensure tender muffins.
  4. Fold in blueberries: Gently fold in the fresh blueberries using a spatula, taking care to keep them whole and juicy within the batter.
  5. Fill muffin cups: Divide the batter evenly between the muffin cups. For extra berry goodness, place a few additional blueberries on top of each muffin before baking.
  6. Bake the muffins: Bake in the preheated oven for 18–20 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of a muffin comes out clean, indicating they are fully cooked.
  7. Cool: Allow the muffins to cool in the tin for a few minutes, then transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely before serving or storing.

Notes

  • Ensure not to overmix the batter to keep muffins light and tender.
  • Use fresh blueberries for best results; frozen can be substituted but may alter texture slightly.
  • These muffins freeze well; store in an airtight container or freezer bag for up to 3 months.
  • Allow muffins to cool completely before freezing to maintain texture.
  • Substitute coconut oil with your preferred neutral oil if desired.
