Ingredients
- 1 cup cottage cheese (full-fat for best texture)
- 1 1/2 cups rolled oats (old-fashioned, not quick-cooking)
- 2 tsp baking powder
- 1 tsp ground cinnamon
- 1/2 cup maple syrup (pure maple syrup, Grade A Amber Rich)
- 1/2 cup mini chocolate chips (or regular size, optional)
- 1 tsp vanilla extract (I use Nielsen-Massey vanilla)
- 2 large eggs
- 1/2 tsp salt
- 1/2 tsp ground nutmeg (freshly grated for best flavor)
Step 1: Prepare the Ingredients
Start by gathering all your ingredients: cottage cheese, rolled oats, eggs, maple syrup, vanilla extract, baking powder, cinnamon, nutmeg, salt, and mini chocolate chips.
This will ensure you have everything you need at hand.
Step 2: Preheat the Oven
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C), the ideal temperature for baking muffins.
This step is crucial for achieving perfectly baked muffins.
Step 3: Blend the Batter
In a blender, combine the cottage cheese, rolled oats, eggs, maple syrup, vanilla extract, baking powder, cinnamon, nutmeg, and salt.
Blend the ingredients together until they form a smooth and creamy batter, ensuring that all ingredients are well mixed.
Step 4: Add Chocolate Chips
Pour the smooth batter into a mixing bowl.
Gently stir in the mini chocolate chips, making sure they are evenly distributed throughout the batter.
Step 5: Fill the Muffin Tins
Fill your muffin tins with the batter, ensuring they are evenly filled for uniform baking.
Be careful not to overfill, as the muffins will rise while baking.
Step 6: Bake and Cool
Bake the muffins in the preheated oven until they are light, moist, and fluffy.
You can check for doneness by inserting a toothpick into the center of a muffin; it should come out clean.
Once baked, allow the muffins to cool in the tins for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack.
Step 7: Serve and Enjoy
After the muffins have cooled, they are ready to be served.
Enjoy your healthy cottage cheese muffins as a delicious snack or breakfast treat!
