Ingredients
Scale
- 1 cup cottage cheese
- 2 cups oats
- 2 eggs
- 1/2 cup milk (or dairy-free alternative)
- 1/4 cup honey or maple syrup
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- Optional: berries or nuts for added flavor
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease your muffin tin well to prevent sticking.
- Combine the cottage cheese, oats, eggs, milk, honey or maple syrup, vanilla extract, baking powder, and salt in a large mixing bowl. Stir until the mixture is well combined.
- Fold in any optional ingredients like berries or nuts, ensuring they’re evenly distributed.
- Pour the batter into the prepared muffin tin, filling each cup about three-quarters full.
- Bake for 20-25 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
- Allow the muffins to cool in the tin for a few minutes before transferring them to a cooling rack.
Notes
For extra fluffiness, let the batter sit for 10-15 minutes before pouring it into the muffin tin. Store in an airtight container for up to three days or freeze for longer storage.
