Prep Time 5 minutes
Cook Time 26 minutes
Total Time 31 minutes
Servings 18 muffins

Ingredients

  • ½ cup nonfat cottage cheese
  • ½ cup nonfat plain Greek yogurt
  • 1 ½ cups sugar divided
  • zest and juice of one lemon
  • zest and juice of one orange
  • 1/4 cup olive or vegetable oil
  • 1 egg
  • 2 egg whites
  • 2 teaspoons vanilla
  • 2 cups flour
  • 1 tablespoon baking powder
  • 1 pint of blueberries washed and dried
  • cooking spray for coating the paper muffin cup liners

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 400 degrees. You will lower the temperature after 6 minutes.
  2. In the container of the Vitamix or blender (see notes), blend the cottage cheese and yogurt until it is very smooth, about 1 minute. Add all of the remaining ingredients (reserving 2 tablespoons of sugar) and blend for 1 minute, stopping twice to scrape the sides of the container.
  3. Stir in the blueberries and divide the batter into 18 lined muffin cups which you have sprayed with cooking spray. Sprinkle the muffins with the reserved sugar to give them a nice crispy, chewy top.
  4. Bake at 400 degrees for 6 minutes and lower the temperature to 350 degrees. Bake the muffins for 20 minutes until they are brown and puffed.
  5. Serve warm with blueberry jam or cream cheese and blueberry jam!

Recipe Notes

I made these in the Vitamix Professional 750 model which holds 64 ounces. If your blender is not that large, combine all of the ingredients except the flour (don’t forget to add the baking powder!) and divide the batter into two parts. Blend one part with 1 cup of flour and the remaining part with the remaining 1 cup of flour. Then pour all of it into a mixing bowl and stir in the blueberries.

If you want to make the batter into a coffee cake, pour the batter into a 9 x 13 baking pan which you have sprayed generously with cooking spray. Sprinkle the top evenly with 3 tablespoons of sugar.  Place the pan in a 400 degree oven for 10 minutes, then lower the heat to 375 degrees. Bake for 35 minutes until a knife comes out clean. Let the cake cool before cutting.
