Equipment

muffin tin
muffin tin liners
oven adjusted to center rack position
stand or hand mixer
large mixing bowl
Whisk
rubber spatula
Ice cream scooper
cooling rack

Ingredients

2 cups all-purpose flour
2 teaspoons baking powder
¾ cup granulated sugar
2 large eggs
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
8 tablespoons salted butter softened
½ cup whole milk
½ cup Hood Country Style Cottage Cheese
½ cup blueberries
½ cup raspberries
½ cup strawberries chopped
1 tablespoon sanding sugar *for tops, optional

Instructions

Preheat your oven to 400°F. Line a muffin tin with cupcake wrappers.
In a medium mixing bowl, whisk together the flour and baking powder.
In a stand mixer, cream the sugar and softened butter together until smooth. Beat in the eggs and vanilla extract.
Add the Hood Country Style Cottage Cheese and milk to the mixer, whisking until well combined. Gradually fold in your dry flour mixture.
Using a rubber spatula, gently fold in the blueberries, raspberries, and chopped strawberries. Be careful not to overmix so you keep the berries intact.
Using a scoop, fill your prepared muffin tins about ¾ of the way to the top.
Sprinkle the sanding sugar over the top of each muffin for a bakery-style crunch. Bake for 20–22 minutes. You’ll know they are ready when they feel springy to the touch and the tops are a beautiful golden brown.
Allow the muffins to cool and set in the pan for 15 minutes before enjoying.

Notes

Nutritional values may vary and are meant to be a guide.

Chef’s Note: Please don't skip the 15-minute cooling time! Because these muffins are loaded with fresh berries, they hold onto a lot of heat. Letting them rest ensures the texture is just right and protects your taste buds!
