Ingredients
  

1 cup cottage cheese (low-fat or regular)

2 large eggs

1/3 cup honey or maple syrup

1 teaspoon vanilla extract

1 cup rolled oats

1 cup whole wheat flour (or almond flour for gluten-free)

1 tablespoon baking powder

1/2 teaspoon baking soda

1/2 teaspoon salt

1 cup fresh or frozen blueberries

Optional: 1/4 cup chopped nuts (walnuts or pecans)

Optional: 1 tablespoon chia seeds or flaxseeds

Instructions
 

Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a muffin tin with paper liners or grease it lightly with cooking spray.

    Blend the Wet Ingredients: In a large mixing bowl, combine the cottage cheese, eggs, honey (or maple syrup), and vanilla extract. Use a fork or a whisk to thoroughly blend them until the mixture is smooth.

      Combine Dry Ingredients: In a separate bowl, mix together the rolled oats, whole wheat flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. If using, add chia seeds or flaxseeds to this mixture as well.

        Mix It All Together: Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, stirring gently to combine. Be careful not to overmix; a few lumps are okay.

          Fold in the Blueberries: Gently fold in the blueberries and nuts (if using) into the batter until distributed evenly.

            Fill the Muffin Tin: Spoon the batter into the prepared muffin tin, filling each cup about 3/4 full to allow for rising.

              Bake: Place the muffin tin in the preheated oven and bake for 18–20 minutes, or until the tops are golden brown and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.

                Cool and Serve: Once done, remove the muffins from the oven and allow them to cool in the tin for about 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely. Enjoy warm or store them in an airtight container for later!
