Cottage Cheese Muffins

Cottage Cheese Muffins with 6 grams of protein! I am completely obsessed with these and even my kids love them. They're light, fluffy, and every bite is SO good! I like making these protein muffins two ways: Pumpkin Chocolate Chip or Regular Chocolate Chip (and I'm giving you both recipes below). I've been making these cottage cheese muffins for years and they always turn out perfect! If you're looking to add more protein into your daily breakfasts then you'll LOVE this healthy muffin recipe.

Notes

*The nutrition is calculated for the Pumpkin Cottage Cheese Muffins ingredients.

*Since the pumpkin version of this recipe doesn't have oil in it, it's best to spray your liners (both paper and silicone) with a little oil before adding the batter. This will keep the muffins from sticking.
