Ingredients

Scale

1 cup cottage cheese (low-fat or full-fat)

1/2 cup rolled oats (not instant)

2 tablespoons honey or maple syrup (or to taste)

Instructions

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a 12-cup muffin tin with paper liners or grease it well.

In a large bowl, combine the cottage cheese, rolled oats, eggs, milk, honey or maple syrup, and vanilla extract. Mix well until everything is combined.

Spoon the batter into the prepared muffin tin, filling each cup about 2/3 full.

Bake for 20-25 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.

Let the muffins cool in the tin for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.

Adjust Sweetness: Taste the batter before baking and adjust the amount of honey or maple syrup to your liking.
