Baking Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 400F and prepare a 12-cavity muffin tray.
- To a blender add milk, cottage cheese, eggs, olive oil, honey and vanilla extract. Blend until smooth.
- To a separate large bowl whisk together flour, cinnamon, salt, baking powder and baking soda.
- Slowly whisk the blended wet ingredients into the dry. Fold in the blueberries using a spatula until just combined. Be careful not to overmix.
- Divide the batter amongst the 12 muffin cavities. If there is any remaining batter, divide it amongst the cups.
- Bake for 10 minutes at 400℉, then reduce the temperature to 350℉ and bake for another 10-12 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center of the largest muffin comes out clean.
- Allow to cool before enjoying.
Notes
We start at a temperature of 400F to help the muffins rise. Tossing blueberries in flour helps ensure they don't sink to the bottom of the muffins.
