Ingredients
  

2 cups all-purpose flour

1 cup fresh blueberries (or frozen, thawed)

1 cup cottage cheese (preferably full-fat)

1/2 cup granulated sugar

1/4 cup packed brown sugar

1/4 cup unsalted butter, melted

2 large eggs

1 teaspoon vanilla extract

1 teaspoon baking powder

1 teaspoon baking soda

1/2 teaspoon salt

1 teaspoon ground cinnamon (optional)

Zest of 1 lemon (optional)

1/4 cup powdered sugar (for dusting, optional)

Instructions
 

Preheat Your Oven: Start by preheating your oven to 375°F (190°C). Prepare a muffin tin by lining it with paper liners or lightly greasing it with cooking spray to prevent sticking.

    Mix Dry Ingredients: In a medium bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, cinnamon (if desired), and lemon zest (if desired). Ensure the mixture is well combined, then set it aside for later use.

      Combine Wet Ingredients: In a large mixing bowl, combine the cottage cheese, granulated sugar, brown sugar, melted butter, eggs, and vanilla extract. Use an electric mixer or a whisk to blend the ingredients together until you achieve a smooth and creamy consistency.

        Merge Wet and Dry Mixtures: Gradually add the dry ingredient mixture to the wet ingredients, stirring gently with a spatula. Mix just until combined; be careful not to overmix. The resulting batter should be thick with a few lumps throughout.

          Fold in Blueberries: With care, fold the blueberries into the batter, ensuring they are evenly dispersed without breaking them, which will keep your muffins beautiful and bursting with fruit.

            Fill Muffin Tin: Using a spoon or an ice cream scoop, portion the batter into the prepared muffin tin, filling each cup about 3/4 full. For an extra touch, sprinkle a few additional blueberries over the top of each muffin to enhance their appeal and flavor.

              Bake: Bake the muffins in the preheated oven for 18-20 minutes. They are done when the tops are golden brown, and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean with a few crumbs attached (not wet batter).

                Cool Down: After baking, remove the muffin tin from the oven and let it cool in the pan for approximately 5 minutes. Next, transfer the muffins to a wire rack to cool completely. If you're feeling indulgent, lightly dust with powdered sugar for a sweet finishing touch before serving.

                  Serve and Enjoy: Serve the muffins warm or at room temperature, either plain or with a slather of butter. These delightful muffins make for an irresistible breakfast treat or a wonderful snack to share with friends!
