Strawberry Cottage Cheese Muffins – Home Cooking Adventure

There’s something incredibly comforting about a soft, fruity muffin. These Strawberry Cottage Cheese Muffins are a lovely balance of wholesome and indulgent. The cottage cheese might seem like an unexpected ingredient, but it gives the muffins a tender crumb, subtle richness, and a protein boost without tasting “cheesy” at all. They are perfect for breakfast, brunch, or an afternoon snack with tea.

The strawberries bring natural sweetness and bursts of flavor in every bite. Instead of granulated sugar, they’re naturally sweetened with honey, which adds a soft, floral note. It also means they’re refined sugar-free, which is a small but welcome bonus when you’re trying to bake a little more mindfully.

They’re easy to make, family-friendly, and a great way to use up ripe strawberries or that container of cottage cheese you forgot about in the fridge. You can dress them up with a crumb topping or leave them plain for a more rustic feel.

You can bake them for a weekend treat or meal prep for the week ahead. These muffins are sure to become a favorite.

How to make strawberry cottage cheese muffins

Begin with preheating the oven to 375°F (190°C) and lining a 12-cavity muffin pan with silicone liners or paper liner, for easier removal. In this case, silicone liners work best as the paper liners might stick slightly.

Next, cut the strawberries into small pieces. Toss them with one tablespoon of flour in a medium bowl and set them aside—this helps prevent them from sinking in the batter.

In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, and salt.

In a large bowl, mix the eggs with honey and vanilla extract until well combined. Gradually mix in the oil, followed by the cottage cheese.

Then, alternate adding the flour mixture and buttermilk to the egg mixture, stirring just until combined.

Gently fold in the floured strawberries, being careful not to overmix. Divide the batter evenly between the muffin cups.

Prepare the crumb topping by mixing honey, flour, and softened or melted butter in a medium bowl. Sprinkle the crumbs over each muffin.

Bake for 25 minutes, or until lightly golden and a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.

Cool the muffins on a wire rack and enjoy!
