Step‑by‑Step Instructions for Cottage Cheese Muffin
  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and prepare your muffin tin with liners or grease.
  2. In a large mixing bowl, combine flour, baking powder, and salt. Whisk until no clumps remain.
  3. In another bowl, blend together the cottage cheese, honey, and eggs until smooth. Mix in desired fruits.
  4. Gently fold the dry ingredients into the wet mixture until just combined. Be careful not to over-mix.
  5. Divide the batter evenly among the muffin tin cups, filling them two-thirds full.
  6. Bake for 20-25 minutes, until muffins spring back when lightly pressed and are golden on top.
  7. Remove from the oven and cool in the pan for 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.
