Delightfully moist, sweet, and fluffy blueberry muffins that get a protein boost from cottage cheese, healthy unsaturated fats from canola oil, and extra fiber from whole wheat flour. At the same time, they use very little sugar. You can make these healthy muffins with either fresh or frozen blueberries.

Instructions

Preheat oven to 180°C fan-forced (200°C conventional). Place muffin cups in the muffin tin.

Blend cottage cheese and banana in a blender or with an immersion blender until smooth. Place the eggs, sugar, oil, and vanilla extract in a bowl with the cottage cheese and banana puree. Wash the lemon thoroughly and finely grate about ¼ of the zest. Add the zest to the liquid ingredients and mix with a whisk or hand mixer.

Add wholemeal flour, salt and baking powder and briefly stir into the liquid ingredients with a spatula or whisk until all ingredients have combined to form a dough.

Wash the blueberries and gently fold them into the batter. (If using frozen blueberries, fold them into the batter while still frozen.)

Divide the batter evenly among twelve muffin cups. Bake the muffins for 20 to 22 minutes at 180°C (350°F) in a convection oven until golden brown on top and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.

Remove the muffins from the oven and let them cool completely.

Tips & Tricks (5)

Blueberry Suspension Technique 🫐
Toss fresh or frozen blueberries in a tablespoon of whole wheat flour before folding into the batter to prevent them from sinking to the bottom of the muffins.
Moisture Magic with Banana 🍌
Use a ripe, overripe banana to add natural sweetness and incredible moisture without needing extra sugar or oil in the recipe.
Cottage Cheese Protein Hack 🥛
Blend the cottage cheese until completely smooth to ensure a creamy texture and even protein distribution without lumps in your muffins.
Muffin Tin Prep Pro 🧁
Line muffin tins with parchment paper liners or use a light coating of canola oil spray to ensure easy removal and prevent sticking.
Zesty Lemon Boost 🍋
Grate the organic lemon zest directly into the wet ingredients to maximize the citrusy essential oils and add a bright, fresh flavor to your muffins.
