  8. Fold in the blueberries gently.
  9. Divide the batter evenly into the muffin tin.
  10. Prepare the streusel topping by mixing oat flour, brown sugar, lemon zest, and melted coconut oil or butter.
  11. Sprinkle the streusel topping over each muffin.

Notes

  • Whole milk cottage cheese gives the best texture and flavor.
  • Do not overmix the batter to keep muffins light and fluffy.
  • Can be stored in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 2 days or refrigerated for up to 5 days.
  • For a stronger lemon flavor, increase the zest to 1 1/2 teaspoons in the batter.
