Easy blueberry cranberry cottage cheese muffins packed with 6g of protein per serving. Sweetened with Wood's Maple Sprinkles—make ahead and freeze.

Ingredients

  • 2 cups self-rising flour
  • ¼ teaspoon salt
  • 6 tablespoons unsalted butter, softened
  • ¾ cup Wood’s Maple Sprinkles
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 cup cottage cheese, blended until smooth
  • 1 cup blueberries, fresh or frozen
  • ½ cup cranberries, fresh
  • ¼ cup orange juice

Directions

    Prep—

    1. Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a 12-cup muffin tin with paper liners or lightly grease with cooking spray.

    Make the batter—

    1. In a large bowl, combine the flour, baking powder, soda, and salt. Mix well with a whisk to distribute the ingredients.
    2. In a large bowl with a hand or stand mixer, beat the butter and sugar for about 5 minutes until light and airy, using a spatula to scrape down the sides of the bowl as needed.
    3. Add the eggs, one at a time, and beat until combined. Add the vanilla extract and the blended cottage cheese and stir just until it's mixed in, being careful not to overmix.
    4. Combine the wet and dry ingredients in the bowl. Use a fork or a rubber spatula to stir the mixture just until the dry ingredients are combined. The batter will be thick. Fold the blueberries into the batter.
    5. Use a big tablespoon or a large scoop to fill the muffin tins nearly to the top.
    6. (Depending on size) Bake the muffins for 35-40 min until the tops are golden brown, and a toothpick inserted in the middle comes out clean.
    7. Remove the muffin pan from the oven and let the muffins cool completely before taking them out.
