Ingredients
- ✓240 ml whole milk cottage cheese
- ✓2 large eggs
- ✓79.2 ml honey
- ✓60 ml melted unsalted butter
- ✓1 tsp pure vanilla extract
- ✓420 ml all-purpose flour
- ✓1.5 tsp baking powder
- ✓0.5 tsp baking soda
- ✓0.5 tsp ground cinnamon
- ✓0.3 tsp fine sea salt
Instructions
1
Preheat your oven to 191 °C (190 °C) and line a standard 12-cup muffin tin with paper liners or grease thoroughly.
💡
Tip:Preheating completely ensures an immediate oven spring for taller muffin tops.
2
In a blender or medium mixing bowl, combine the cottage cheese, eggs, honey, melted butter, and vanilla extract until completely smooth.
💡
Tip:Blending the wet ingredients breaks down curds for an ultra-velvety crumb.
3
In a separate large bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, cinnamon, and salt.
💡
Tip:Whisking aerates the dry mix and prevents pockets of leavening agents.
4
Pour the wet cottage cheese mixture into the dry ingredients and gently fold with a spatula just until no dry flour streaks remain.
💡
Tip:Do not overmix; stop as soon as the batter comes together to keep muffins tender.
5
Divide the batter evenly among the 12 muffin cups, filling each about three-quarters full.
💡
Tip:A standard ice cream scoop makes portioning quick and uniform.
6
Bake for 18 to 22 minutes until the tops are lightly golden and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
💡
Tip:Let cool in the pan for 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack.
