Description

These Simple Cottage Cheese Oatmeal Blender Muffins are a wholesome and delicious treat that combine the creamy texture of cottage cheese with hearty oats and warm spices. Naturally sweetened with maple syrup and enhanced with a hint of vanilla, these muffins are perfect for a nutritious breakfast or snack. They come together quickly using a blender for easy mixing, then baked to golden perfection with delightful bursts of mini chocolate chips throughout.

Ingredients

Scale

Wet Ingredients

  • 1 cup plain cottage cheese (226 grams)
  • 2 large eggs
  • 2 tablespoons pure maple syrup
  • 2 teaspoons vanilla essence

Dry Ingredients

  • 1 1/4 cups rolled oats (125 grams)
  • 2 teaspoons baking powder
  • 2 teaspoons ground cinnamon
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground nutmeg
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt

Add-ins

  • 1/4 cup plus 2 tablespoons mini chocolate chips (about 90 grams)

Instructions

  1. Preheat the Oven: Begin by preheating your oven to 350°F (175°C) and prepare a muffin tin by greasing it or lining with paper liners to prevent sticking.
  2. Blend Wet Ingredients: In a blender, combine the cottage cheese, eggs, maple syrup, and vanilla essence. Blend until smooth and creamy to create the wet batter base.
  3. Add Dry Ingredients: Add the rolled oats, baking powder, cinnamon, nutmeg, and salt into the blender. Pulse the mixture until the oats are incorporated but still retain some texture for a hearty muffin crumb.
  4. Mix in Chocolate Chips: Remove the batter from the blender and gently fold in the mini chocolate chips by hand to distribute evenly without breaking them up.
  5. Portion Batter into Muffin Tin: Scoop the muffin batter evenly into the prepared muffin cups, filling each about 3/4 full to allow room for rising.
  6. Bake the Muffins: Place the muffin tin in the preheated oven and bake for 25 to 30 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of a muffin comes out clean.
  7. Cool and Serve: Allow the muffins to cool in the pan for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely. Serve warm or at room temperature and enjoy!

Notes

  • If you prefer a sweeter muffin, add an extra tablespoon of maple syrup.
  • For a dairy-free option, substitute cottage cheese with a plant-based yogurt.
  • These muffins can be stored in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days or refrigerated for up to a week.
  • Reheat muffins in the microwave for 15-20 seconds for a warm treat.
  • Adding chopped nuts or dried fruit can offer additional texture and flavor.
