Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup cottage cheese (240 g)
  • 1/2 cup milk (120 ml)
  • 1/3 cup vegetable oil (80 ml)
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract (5 ml)
  • 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour (190 g)
  • 1/2 cup granulated sugar (100 g)
  • 1 tablespoon baking powder (12 g)
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking soda (2.5 g)
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt (1.5 g)
  • 1 cup fresh or frozen blueberries (150 g)
  • 1 teaspoon lemon zest (optional)
  • 1 tablespoon sugar for topping (optional)

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a 12-cup muffin tin with paper liners or grease it.
  2. In a large bowl, whisk together cottage cheese, milk, vegetable oil, eggs, and vanilla until smooth.
  3. In another bowl, stir together flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
  4. Fold the dry ingredients into the wet ingredients gently until just combined.
  5. Fold in lemon zest (if using) and blueberries. Spoon batter into muffin cups, filling them 2/3 full. Sprinkle with sugar on top if desired.
  6. Bake for 18 to 22 minutes until golden and a toothpick comes out clean. Cool for 5 minutes in pan, then transfer to a rack.

Notes

For best results, do not overmix the batter and use room temperature ingredients. If using frozen berries, fold them in straight from the freezer.
