  • 0.75 cup full-fat organic cottage cheese
  • 0.5 cup vanilla protein powder
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder

  1. Preheat the oven to 350?F and line a muffin pan with 12 parchment liners.
  2. Add the oats to a high-speed blender and pulse until it turns into a 'flour.' Add in the eggs, pumpkin puree, cottage cheese, protein powder, baking powder, baking soda, and spices (and sugar, if using) and blend until creamy and smooth.

  4. Bake for 20 minutes, until the tops are golden brown and a toothpick comes out clean.
  5. Option to top with flaky sea salt and enjoy.

Notes

Customize the muffins by substituting cottage cheese with Greek yogurt or adding nuts for extra texture. Letting the batter rest improves texture and flavor.
