  3. Blend cottage cheese, maple syrup, avocado oil, and vanilla extract until smooth.
  4. Transfer blended mixture to a bowl, add eggs and whisk until smooth.
  5. Fold dry ingredients into wet mixture until just combined, with few streaks of flour remaining.
  6. Gently fold in blueberries, raspberries, and blackberries.
  7. Distribute batter into muffin cups, filling each about three-quarters full.
  8. Bake for 5 minutes at 425ºF, then reduce temperature to 350ºF (175ºC) and bake for another 8-10 minutes.
