These Cottage Cheese Banana Blueberry Muffins are more than just a treat — they’re a wholesome, protein-packed snack you can feel good about serving to your family. By blending cottage cheese into the batter, you add a boost of high-quality protein that helps keep kids (and adults!) energized longer. Using ripe bananas naturally sweetens the muffins, allowing for less added sugar, while a touch of maple sugar brings subtle caramel-like depth and umami that makes every bite feel more satisfying.
