Fluffy cottage cheese muffins are a high-protein delight that can be enjoyed as a nutritious breakfast, a post-workout snack, or a light dessert.
These muffins combine the creamy texture of cottage cheese with wholesome ingredients to create a soft, moist, and satisfying treat.
To prepare, start by preheating your oven to 350°F (175°C) and greasing a muffin tin or lining it with paper cups.
In a mixing bowl, whisk together one cup of cottage cheese, two eggs, and a quarter cup of honey or maple syrup for natural sweetness.
In a separate bowl, mix one cup of whole wheat or oat flour, half a teaspoon of baking soda, and a pinch of salt.
For added texture and nutrition, stir in half a cup of fresh berries, chopped nuts, or dark chocolate chips.
Once combined, spoon the batter into the muffin tin, filling each cup about three-quarters full. Bake for 18 to 22 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
Let them cool for a few minutes before removing them from the tin. These muffins are rich in protein, thanks to the cottage cheese, and provide a healthy balance of carbohydrates and fats.
