Ingredients

1 1/2 cups whole wheat flour (or all-purpose flour)

1/2 cup rolled oats

1/2 teaspoon baking soda

1 teaspoon baking powder

1/4 teaspoon salt

1 teaspoon ground cinnamon

2 large eggs

1/2 cup cottage cheese (low-fat or full-fat)

1/4 cup honey or maple syrup

1/4 cup unsweetened applesauce or mashed banana

1 teaspoon vanilla extract

1/2 cup fresh strawberries, chopped

1/4 cup milk (any kind)

1 tablespoon chia seeds or flaxseeds (optional)

1/4 cup chopped nuts or seeds (optional)

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a muffin tin with paper liners or lightly grease it.
  2. In a large bowl, whisk together flour, oats, baking soda, baking powder, salt, and cinnamon.
  3. In another bowl, whisk eggs, cottage cheese, honey/maple syrup, applesauce/banana, and vanilla extract until smooth.
  4. Gradually add the wet mixture to the dry ingredients, stirring gently to combine without overmixing.
  5. Fold in strawberries, chia or flaxseeds, and nuts or seeds if using.
  6. Divide batter evenly among muffin cups, filling each about 3/4 full.
  7. Bake for 18–22 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
  8. Cool muffins in the tin for 5 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.

Notes

Use fresh or frozen strawberries (thawed and drained) as needed.

Adjust sweetness by adding more honey or maple syrup if desired.

Store muffins in an airtight container at room temperature or freeze for later.

Make it vegan by using flax eggs and plant-based milk and yogurt alternatives.
