These Cottage Cheese Oatmeal Blender Muffins are soft, wholesome, and naturally protein-packed. Everything blends together in one step, making prep fast and cleanup easy. The cottage cheese adds moisture and richness, while oats create a hearty base that keeps you full longer. Finished with warm spices and melty chocolate chips, they’re perfect for breakfast, snacks, or even dessert.
1 cup 4% milkfat cottage cheese, drained
2 cups rolled oats
2 large eggs
2 tablespoons maple syrup
2 tablespoons melted butter or coconut oil
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 teaspoon baking powder
½ teaspoon baking soda
1 teaspoon cinnamon
¼ teaspoon nutmeg (optional)
¼ teaspoon salt
½ cup mini chocolate chips
Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a 12-cup muffin tin with liners or lightly grease.
Add cottage cheese, oats, eggs, maple syrup, melted butter, vanilla, baking powder, baking soda, cinnamon, nutmeg, and salt to a blender.
Blend for 1–2 minutes, until completely smooth.
Pour batter into a bowl and gently fold in chocolate chips.
Divide batter evenly among muffin cups.
Bake for 18–22 minutes, or until the tops are lightly golden and a toothpick inserted comes out clean.
Let muffins cool for 5 minutes in the pan, then transfer to a wire rack.
Use full-fat cottage cheese: 4% works best for moisture and richness.
Drain excess liquid from cottage cheese to keep batter consistency right.
Blend thoroughly so no oats or curds remain.
Don’t overmix after adding chocolate chips to keep muffins tender.
