Ingredients
  

1 cup fresh blueberries (or frozen, thawed)

1 cup cottage cheese (preferably low-fat)

1/2 cup unsweetened applesauce

1/4 cup honey or maple syrup

2 large eggs

1 teaspoon vanilla extract

1 1/2 cups whole wheat flour

1 teaspoon baking powder

1 teaspoon baking soda

1/2 teaspoon salt

1/2 teaspoon cinnamon (optional)

1/4 cup chopped nuts (optional, such as walnuts or almonds)

Instructions
 

Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a muffin tin with paper liners or grease it lightly.

    Mix Wet Ingredients: In a large mixing bowl, combine the cottage cheese, applesauce, honey (or maple syrup), eggs, and vanilla extract. Whisk together until smooth and well combined.

      Combine Dry Ingredients: In another bowl, whisk together the whole wheat flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, and cinnamon (if using).

        Combine Mixtures: Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, stirring gently until just combined. Be careful not to overmix to keep your muffins tender.

          Fold in Blueberries: Gently fold in the blueberries and nuts (if using) until evenly distributed.

            Fill Muffin Tin: Spoon the batter evenly into the prepared muffin tin, filling each cup about 3/4 full.

              Bake: Bake in the preheated oven for about 18-20 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.

                Cool: Allow the muffins to cool in the pan for about 5 minutes, then transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely.

                  Serve: Enjoy warm or store them in an airtight container for up to 3 days at room temperature or freeze for longer storage.
