Delicious Blueberry Muffins for Any Occasion

In a large mixing bowl, combine the room temperature butter and sugar. Beat them together until the mixture is light and fluffy. This process should take about 2-3 minutes. Make sure to scrape the sides of the bowl to ensure everything is well mixed.

Once fluffy, add the eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition. This helps incorporate air into the batter, making your muffins light and airy.

Next, add the soft cottage cheese to the mixture, and stir until combined. Then, sift together the flour, baking powder, and salt. Gradually incorporate this dry mixture into the wet ingredients.

Finally, mix in the lemon zest and lemon juice. These ingredients add a wonderful freshness to the muffins!

Gently fold in the blueberries into the batter, being careful not to break them apart. This will ensure that the blueberries stay intact and give juicy bursts of flavor in your muffins.

Now, prepare your muffin tin by greasing it with a little butter and dusting it with flour to prevent sticking.

Fill each muffin cup with the batter, about two-thirds full. If desired, you can top the muffins with sliced almonds and a few extra blueberries for added texture and presentation.

Preheat your oven to 180 degrees Celsius (356 degrees Fahrenheit). Bake the muffins in the oven for approximately 25-30 minutes.

Check for doneness by inserting a toothpick into the center; if it comes out clean, your muffins are ready!

Once baked, allow the muffins to cool in the tin for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack. This helps them cool evenly.

Before serving, you can sprinkle them with a dusting of powdered sugar to give a touch of sweetness and a prettier presentation. Enjoy your delicious blueberry muffins!
