Instructions

  • Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a standard 12-cup muffin tin with liners or grease with cooking spray.
  • In a medium bowl, whisk together the well-drained cottage cheese and lightly beaten eggs until mostly smooth.
  • Stir in honey or maple syrup, vanilla extract, and lemon zest until fully combined.
  • In another bowl, sift together almond flour (or all-purpose), baking powder, and sea salt. Mix to break up lumps.
  • Gently fold the dry ingredients into the wet mixture until just combined, being careful not to overmix.
  • Fold in the fresh blueberries, reserving a few to place on top before baking.
  • Divide the batter among the muffin cups, pressing reserved blueberries onto the tops.
  • Bake for 20 to 25 minutes until lightly golden and a toothpick comes out clean.
  • Let cool in the tin for about 5 minutes before transferring to a rack to cool completely.
  • Serve warm or at room temperature, optionally drizzled with honey or dusted with powdered sugar.

Notes
