Ingredients

Scale

Dry Ingredients

  • 1 1/2 cups 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)

Other

  • 1 cup fresh blueberries

Instructions

  1. Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 180°C (350°F) and line a muffin tin with paper liners to prepare for baking.
  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 becomes smooth and creamy.
  3. Add Dry Ingredients: Add the all-purpose flour, cinnamon, baking powder, and baking soda to the wet mixture. Stir gently with a spoon or spatula just until combined to avoid overmixing.
  4. Fold in Blueberries: Carefully fold in the fresh blueberries using a spatula to prevent them from breaking apart and to keep them juicy inside the batter.
  5. Fill Muffin Cups: Divide the batter evenly between the prepared muffin cups. Optionally, place a few extra blueberries on top of each muffin for an attractive finish.
  6. Bake Muffins: Bake the muffins in the preheated oven for 18 to 20 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
  7. Cool: Allow the muffins to cool in the tin for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely, if you can wait.

Notes

  • You can substitute coconut oil with any mild-flavored oil like vegetable or canola oil.
  • For a lower sugar version, reduce coconut sugar slightly or use a sugar alternative.
  • Make sure to fold in blueberries gently to keep them from bursting and coloring the batter too much.
  • These muffins keep well in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days or can be frozen for up to one month.
