Simple Cottage Cheese Oatmeal Blender Muffins 

These Simple Cottage Cheese Oatmeal Blender Muffins offer a wholesome, high-protein start to your day with zero fuss. Ground oats replace refined flour, while cottage cheese adds creamy moisture and protein—without altering the flavor. The entire batter comes together in your blender in under two minutes, and bakes up into tender, satisfying muffins. Ready in just 25 minutes from start to finish, they’re perfect for breakfast, snacks, or on-the-go treats. Flexible and forgiving, this recipe welcomes mix-ins like berries or nuts, and improvisations like dairy-free or gluten-free swaps.
