- 1 ½ cups whole wheat flour or oat flour
- 1 tsp baking powder
- ½ tsp baking soda
- ¼ tsp salt
- 1 cup cottage cheese blended for smooth texture
- 2 large eggs
- ⅓ cup maple syrup or honey
- 1 tsp vanilla extract

Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 400°F. Line a 12-cup muffin tin with liners and lightly grease them.

- In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
- Gently stir the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients until just combined. Fold in the lemon zest and blueberries.
- Divide the batter evenly among the muffin cups.
- Bake at 400°F for 5 minutes, then reduce heat to 350°F and bake for an additional 15–18 minutes until a toothpick comes out clean.
