Method

Step-by-Step Instructions

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and prepare your muffin tin with silicone liners or greasing.
In a blender, combine cottage cheese, rolled oats, eggs, maple syrup, vanilla extract, baking powder, cinnamon, nutmeg, and salt. Blend for about 30 seconds.
Transfer the mixture to a bowl and fold in most of the mini chocolate chips, reserving some for topping. Let the batter rest for 5 minutes.
Fill each muffin cup about three-quarters full with the batter and sprinkle remaining chocolate chips on top.
Bake for 22-25 minutes until golden brown and firm to touch. Let cool in the tin for a few minutes before transferring to a wire rack.
