Probably my favorite cottage cheese baked recipe I’ve ever made.
This super easy muffin recipe comes together in a blender in less than 5 minutes. You get a nice dose of protein from the cottage cheese. The recipe uses rolled oats and just a little sweetener with the maple syrup. You can also use sugar free chocolate chips to keep the sugar down.

The combination of the cottage cheese and the oats really creates a great texture here. If you prefer, you can use nuts, raisins, chopped dates as an add in to the muffins. I store these in my fridge and reheat them in my toaster oven and they turn out like I just baked them in the oven.

I have loved EVERY recipe of yours that I’ve tried. Just got your cookbook for Christmas and am excited to try more!!
Thank you for sharing these amazing recipes!
I make these on repeat for my husband to grab on his way out to the gym – they are easy and very convenient to have!! (I do not process them, however, as he refers to have more texture)
Hi Mary, I love the texture too! Thank you for trying them out and coming back to share your feedback!
Can I use the muffin recipe to make a fresh blueberry or strawberry or banana nut version rather than chocolate chip?
