Cottage Cheese Blueberry Muffins (Healthy Recipe)
Lemon Blueberry Muffins that are made in under 40 minutes with just a blender and a bowl! I love that these healthy cottage cheese muffins have 5 grams of protein each, are perfect for a sweet and filling breakfast, snack, or even dessert. The lemon streusel topping truly takes things to another level and even my kids are just as obsessed with these as I am! They're fluffy, light, and SO good.

Notes
- If possible, use room temperature ingredients to help everything mix together more smoothly and make for a great batter.
- Use an ice cream scoop to evenly scoop the batter into a muffin tin.
- Every oven is a little different, so be sure to watch the baking time. I recommend to start checking around 25 minutes.
- Frozen blueberries work just as great as fresh! Just add them straight from the freezer into the batter and bake.
