Ingredients

Scale

1 cup cottage cheese

2 large eggs

1/3 cup maple syrup

1 teaspoon vanilla extract

1/4 cup melted butter

1 cup rolled oats

3/4 cup all-purpose flour

1 teaspoon baking powder

1/2 teaspoon baking soda

1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon

1/4 teaspoon salt

1 cup blueberries


Instructions

1. Preheat the oven to 375°F and line a 12-cup muffin pan with liners or grease it lightly.

2. Add the cottage cheese, eggs, maple syrup, vanilla extract, and melted butter to a blender and blend until mostly smooth.

3. In a large bowl, whisk together the rolled oats, flour, baking powder, baking soda, cinnamon, and salt.

4. Pour the wet mixture into the dry ingredients and stir until just combined.

5. Gently fold in the blueberries.

6. Divide the batter evenly among the muffin cups, filling each about three-quarters full.

7. Bake for 18 to 22 minutes, or until the tops are lightly golden and a toothpick comes out mostly clean.

8. Let the muffins cool in the pan for 5 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack.


Notes

Use frozen blueberries straight from the freezer so they do not bleed too much into the batter.

Do not overmix the batter or the muffins may turn dense instead of tender.

Store the muffins in the refrigerator for the best freshness and texture because of the cottage cheese.
