Ingredients

Scale

1 cup (210 g) cottage cheese, drained
1¼ cups (101.35 g) rolled oats
2 eggs
3 tbsp maple syrup
2 tsp baking powder
1 tsp vanilla extract
1 tsp cinnamon
1/4 tsp nutmeg
1/4 tsp salt
1/3 cup (60 g) sugar‑free chocolate chips

Instructions

Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a 12‑cup muffin tin with paper liners or spray with non‑stick cooking spray.
In a blender, combine cottage cheese, rolled oats, eggs, maple syrup, vanilla extract, cinnamon, nutmeg, and salt. Blend until smooth.
Add baking powder and pulse a few times to incorporate.
Fold in sugar‑free chocolate chips by hand.
Divide the batter evenly among the muffin cups, filling each about 3/4 full.
Bake for 15–18 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
Allow muffins to cool in the pan for 5 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.

Notes

For extra fluffiness, avoid over‑mixing the batter. Substitute maple syrup with honey or a sugar‑free sweetener if desired. Store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days, or freeze for up to 2 months. Reheat in the microwave for 20‑30 seconds before serving.
