One of the best things about these cottage cheese muffins is their versatility. You can easily customize the flavor to suit your preferences or to keep things exciting. Want to add a fruity flair?

The gluten-free nature of these muffins allows for endless variations with different types of flours and mix-ins as well. Experimenting in the kitchen can lead to delightful discoveries that cater to your unique taste. Whether served for breakfast or as a snack, there's a flavor combination that's just right for you!

Additionally, these muffins freeze beautifully! You can prepare a large batch and stash a few in the freezer for times when you're short on time or just need a healthy snack.

Instructions

Follow these simple steps to create your cottage cheese muffins:

Preheat the Oven

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and prepare a muffin tin with liners or cooking spray.

Mix the Wet Ingredients

In a large bowl, combine the cottage cheese, eggs, and honey. Stir until well mixed.

Combine the Dry Ingredients

In another bowl, mix the almond flour, oat flour, baking powder, and salt.

Combine Wet and Dry Mixtures

Add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients and stir until just combined.

Tips for Baking Success

To achieve the best texture in your cottage cheese muffins, ensure that your ingredients are at room temperature before mixing. This small step can make a significant difference in how well the batter combines and how fluffy your muffins turn out. Always measure your ingredients accurately for the best results.

For even baking, fill each muffin cup to about two-thirds full, allowing space for the muffins to rise. Keep an eye on the baking time, as ovens can vary in temperature. It's always best to check for doneness with a toothpick; it should come out clean or with a few crumbs attached.

Serving Suggestions

These muffins can be enjoyed in many ways, making them a favorite for both breakfast and snacks. Serve them warm with a pat of butter or a drizzle of honey for extra flavor. You can also pair them with a side of fresh fruit to create a balanced meal.

If you're feeling adventurous, turn your cottage cheese muffins into a mini breakfast sandwich. Slice a muffin in half and fill it with scrambled eggs, avocado, or your favorite breakfast meat. This adds a delicious twist and turns your muffins into a hearty, satisfying option that is sure to keep you full for hours.
