  • Total Time: 30 minutes
  • Yield: 12 muffins 1x

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup cottage cheese
  • 1/2 cup plain Greek yogurt
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1/4 cup honey or maple syrup
  • 2 tbsp fresh lemon juice
  • 1 tsp lemon zest
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 1/2 tsp baking powder
  • 1/4 tsp baking soda
  • 1/4 tsp salt
  • 1 cup fresh or frozen raspberries

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 375 degrees F and line a 12-cup muffin tin with paper liners or grease it lightly.
  2. In a large bowl, whisk together the cottage cheese, Greek yogurt, eggs, honey, lemon juice, lemon zest, and vanilla extract until smooth.
  3. In a separate bowl, stir together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
  4. Add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients and stir until just combined. Do not overmix.
  5. Gently fold in the raspberries.
  6. Divide the batter evenly among the 12 muffin cups, filling each about three quarters full.
  7. Bake for 18 to 22 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
  8. Let the muffins cool in the pan for 5 minutes, then transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely.

Notes

  • Use fresh raspberries for the best texture. If using frozen, do not thaw them before folding in.
  • Blend the cottage cheese before mixing if you prefer a smoother muffin texture.
  • Store muffins in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 5 days.
  • You can freeze these muffins for up to 2 months. Thaw overnight in the fridge.
  • Swap raspberries for blueberries or chopped strawberries if preferred.
