Ingredients
Scale
1 cup rolled oats
1 cup low-fat cottage cheese
2 large eggs
1/2 cup milk (any kind)
1/4 cup maple syrup or honey
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 teaspoon baking powder
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
1/4 teaspoon salt
1 cup fresh or frozen blueberries
Cooking spray or paper liners
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a 12-cup muffin tin with paper liners or grease well.
Place the rolled oats, cottage cheese, eggs, milk, maple syrup, and vanilla extract into a blender. Blend until the mixture is smooth. This creates the base for your moist cottage cheese baked goods.
Add the baking powder, baking soda, and salt to the blender. Pulse a few times just to combine the dry ingredients into the wet mixture. Do not overmix.
Gently fold in the blueberries using a spatula. If using frozen blueberries, do not thaw them first.
Divide the batter evenly among the 12 muffin cups, filling each about two-thirds full.
Bake for 18 to 22 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of a muffin comes out clean.
Let the muffins cool in the tin for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely. These are great for make ahead breakfast ideas.
Notes
For a chocolate version, substitute 1/4 cup of the oats with unsweetened cocoa powder and add 1/4 cup chocolate chips.
These protein packed snacks freeze well. Cool completely, then store in a freezer-safe bag for up to three months.
If you prefer a sweeter muffin, add 1/4 cup mashed ripe banana to the blender mixture.
