Instructions

Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a muffin tin with paper liners or lightly grease it.
In a large bowl, mix the cottage cheese, eggs, honey (or maple syrup), and vanilla extract until smooth.
In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined.
Gently fold in the fresh blueberries, being careful not to crush them.
Spoon the batter into the muffin tin, filling each cup about ¾ full.
Bake for 18-20 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
Allow the muffins to cool in the tin for 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.

Notes

For extra crunch, try adding chopped nuts like walnuts or almonds.
Swap blueberries with raspberries or strawberries for a new twist.
To make it gluten-free, use almond flour or gluten-free all-purpose flour blend.
For lower sugar, replace honey or maple syrup with coconut sugar or stevia.
