Cottage Cheese Blueberry Muffins

No, you can't taste the cottage cheese!

This is the recipe I reach for when I want a not-too-sweet muffin that still feels comforting and satisfying (it’s either this, my original cottage cheese muffins, or healthy blueberry muffins). They bake up soft and plush, with bursts of blueberry and gorgeous, tender tops- the kind of muffin that somehow works for breakfast and dessert.

Yes, these come together with just a handful of everyday ingredients.

Cottage cheese is the secret star here. Blended smooth, it melts right into the batter, adding protein, moisture, and a subtle richness without making the muffins heavy. Blueberries bring pops of sweetness and acidity, while a neutral oil keeps everything soft for days. The oats add fiber and staying power.

Bake them just until the tops spring back for ultra-soft centers, or let them go a minute longer if you like a slightly firmer crumb. Either way, you’ll have warm muffins on the counter in under 30 minutes.
