Storage & Serving Tips

Okay, so here’s the deal—if your house is anything like mine, these muffins are going to fly off the counter. But in case you manage to stash a few away (maybe hide them from the kids?), here’s how to keep them fresh!

Storage Tips

So, you’ve made a batch of these WW Blueberry Muffins with Almond Flour, and now you’re wondering how to keep them fresh (assuming you have any leftovers!). Here’s what to do:

  • Room Temperature: If you’re planning to enjoy them within a day or two, you can keep these muffins in an airtight container on the counter. Just make sure the container is fully sealed to keep them from drying out.
  • Refrigerator: For longer storage (up to a week), pop them in the fridge. I find they stay super moist and taste amazing even after a few days. Just reheat in the microwave for about 10-15 seconds to bring that warm, just-baked goodness back.
  • Freezer: Want to stock up? These muffins freeze beautifully! Place them in a single layer on a baking sheet to freeze individually first (to avoid clumping), then transfer them to a freezer-safe bag. When you’re ready to enjoy, just let one thaw in the fridge overnight or give it a quick zap in the microwave.

Serving Suggestions

These WW blueberry muffins are as versatile as they come. Here’s how to enjoy them any time of day:

  • Breakfast: Pair one of these muffins with your morning coffee or tea. For extra indulgence, spread a little butter or cream cheese on top. Trust me, it’s next-level delicious!
  • Snack Attack: Keep one in your bag or lunchbox for a quick, low-carb snack. I can’t count the number of times one of these muffins saved me from reaching for something carb-loaded during a busy day.
  • Dessert Twist: In the mood for something sweeter? Warm up a muffin and top it with a dollop of whipped cream or a sprinkle of cinnamon. Suddenly, you’ve got a cozy dessert that’s still totally WW-friendly.

Enjoy these muffins whenever the craving strikes—whether it’s breakfast, snack time, or dessert, they’re ready to step up to the plate (literally!).

Tips & FAQs

Can I use frozen strawberries?
Yes, you can substitute fresh strawberries with frozen ones, but be sure to thaw and pat them dry first to avoid adding excess moisture to the batter.

Are these muffins suitable for a low-sugar diet?
Yes! These muffins are made with dates and strawberries for natural sweetness and have no refined sugars, making them great for those monitoring their sugar intake.

What makes these muffins WW-friendly?
Each muffin is only 2 WW points, thanks to high-protein, low-fat ingredients like cottage cheese and fiber-rich oats. They’re a perfect Weight Watchers breakfast muffin.

Can I substitute the cottage cheese?
For a dairy-free option, you can experiment with a plant-based yogurt, although it may slightly alter the texture.

How can I make this recipe even higher in protein?
To add more protein, try stirring in a scoop of vanilla protein powder. You may need to add a splash of water or milk if the batter thickens too much.

Description

Delicious WW Strawberry and Cottage Cheese Muffins, high in protein and low in sugar. Perfect for breakfast or a quick snack, WW-approved!

Ingredients
  • 12 dates: Fresh dates, pitted and roughly chopped. These add natural sweetness without the need for added sugar.
  • 2 powder: Baking teaspoons, which helps the muffins rise and stay light.
  • 97 fat-free 97% cottage cheese: 1 cup (250g)
  • 2 oats: Quick cups (180g)
  • 3 Eggs: medium, for structure and added protein.
  • 2 bean Vanilla extract, alcohol-free: teaspoons, to enhance the natural flavors.
  • 250 strawberries: Fresh g, sliced. These add juicy bursts of flavor to each bite.
Instructions
    Step 1: Preheat and Prepare the Muffin Tray
  1. Preheat your oven to 180°C (350°F). Line a 12-hole, ⅓-cup (80 ml) muffin tray with paper liners. This ensures easy removal and makes cleanup simpler.
  2. Step 2: Soften the Dates
  3. Combine your chopped dates with 2 tablespoons of boiling water in a large microwave-safe bowl. Cover and microwave on high for 1½ minutes, just enough to soften the dates. Stir in the baking powder immediately; this mixture will foam, helping to add a light texture to the muffins.
  4. Step 3: Process the Cottage Cheese and Oats
  5. In a food processor, blend the cottage cheese until smooth. Add in the oats, eggs, vanilla extract, and the date mixture. Process until combined. Avoid over-processing, as this can make the muffins dense—just a few pulses are enough.
  6. Step 4: Fold in the Strawberries
  7. Add 200g of the sliced strawberries to the batter and pulse briefly to mix them in. This keeps the strawberry pieces intact, so you get a nice burst of strawberry flavor in each muffin.
  8. Step 5: Fill the Muffin Tray
  9. Spoon the mixture evenly into the prepared muffin cups. Sprinkle the remaining strawberries on top of each muffin, pressing them slightly into the batter for a beautiful, fruity finish.
  10. Step 6: Bake and Cool
  11. Bake for about 30 minutes, or until the muffins turn golden brown and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. Let the muffins cool in the tray for 5 minutes, then transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely. Enjoy these WW-friendly muffins warm or at room temperature.

Note

The first time I made these WW Strawberry and Cottage Cheese Muffins, I wasn’t sure how my family would react. My husband, who usually gives me the side-eye when I say something is "healthy," took a bite and, to my surprise, reached for a second! That’s when I knew I had a winner. As for my kids? They devoured them in minutes, calling them “the best muffins ever!” Seeing my family genuinely enjoy something that’s both delicious and nutritious? That’s the kind of win every mom dreams of in the kitchen. It’s moments like this that make all the effort worthwhile!
