Instructions

Preheat the oven to 180°C (356°F) fan or 200°C (392°F) conventional. Line a muffin tray with 12 muffin cups.

Wash the apple and coarsely grate it. Roughly chop the nuts.

Blend the cottage cheese, honey, and applesauce in a blender or with an immersion blender until smooth.

Add the eggs, oil, vanilla extract, and spices to the cottage cheese mixture and mix well.

Fold in the grated apple, chopped nuts, oats, flour, and baking powder until just combined.

Divide the batter evenly among the 12 muffin cups, smoothing the tops. If using, sprinkle the blueberries on top.

Bake for 20–22 minutes, checking for doneness with a toothpick after 20 minutes.

Let the muffins cool completely, then store in an airtight container in the refrigerator or freeze for later.

Tips & Tricks (5)

Moisture Magic 💧
Use room temperature cottage cheese and applesauce to ensure even moisture distribution and prevent dry muffins.
Nut Preparation Perfection 🥜
Lightly toast chopped nuts before adding to the batter to enhance their flavor and prevent them from becoming soggy during baking.
Grating Apple Pro Tip 🍎
Grate the apple directly into the wet ingredients to prevent browning and ensure maximum moisture retention in the muffins.
Freezer-Friendly Hack 🧊
Freeze individual muffins on a baking sheet, then transfer to a freezer bag for easy grab-and-go breakfast options that stay fresh for up to 3 months.
Blueberry Suspension Trick 🫐
Toss frozen blueberries in a tablespoon of whole wheat flour before folding into the batter to prevent them from sinking and bleeding color.
