Equipment

  • blender or food processor
  • muffin tin
  • mixing bowl
  • spoon or spatula
  • wire cooling rack
  • oven

Ingredients
  

  • 1 cup cottage cheese
  • 1 1/4 cups rolled oats
  • 2 large eggs
  • 2 tbsp maple syrup
  • 2 tsp vanilla extract
  • 2 tsp baking powder
  • 2 tsp cinnamon
  • 1/2 tsp nutmeg
  • 1/4 tsp salt
  • 1/4 + 2 tbsp mini chocolate chips (or blueberries, raisins, or chopped nuts)

Instructions
 

  • Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease or line a muffin tin with parchment paper cups to prevent sticking.
  • In a blender or food processor, combine cottage cheese, rolled oats, eggs, maple syrup, vanilla extract, baking powder, cinnamon, nutmeg, and salt. Blend until smooth and creamy, about 30–45 seconds.
  • Transfer the batter to a mixing bowl and gently fold in most of the chocolate chips, reserving a few for topping. Let the batter rest for 5 minutes so the oats absorb moisture.
  • Spoon the batter evenly into 9 muffin cups. Sprinkle the remaining chocolate chips on top of each muffin.
  • Bake for 22–25 minutes, or until the tops are lightly golden and a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean. Let cool in the pan for 5–10 minutes before transferring to a wire rack.

Notes

Blend the batter well for the smoothest texture. Let the batter rest for 5 minutes before baking so the oats absorb moisture. Check muffins around 22 minutes to prevent overbaking. Store in an airtight container for up to 3 days, refrigerate up to 1 week, or freeze individually for up to 2 months.
