Freshly baked cottage cheese banana muffins on a cooling rack with ingredients

These banana cottage cheese muffins are incredibly easy to make, healthy, and delicious. Packed with oats, ripe bananas, and protein-rich cottage cheese, they’re perfect for a quick breakfast or snack.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup cottage cheese
  • 2 ripe bananas
  • 2 large eggs
  • ¼ cup honey
  • 1 ½ teaspoons vanilla
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1 teaspoon cinnamon
  • 2 cups old-fashioned oats

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 400°F and position the top rack in the middle. Grease a 12-muffin pan or use foil liners (avoid paper liners).
  2. Add cottage cheese, bananas, eggs, honey, vanilla, baking powder, cinnamon, and oats to a blender in that order.
  3. Blend on high speed for about 45 seconds until the batter is smooth.
  4. Pour the batter evenly into the prepared muffin pan, filling each cup about ¾ full.
  5. Bake for 20 minutes, or until the tops are browned and a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
  6. Let the muffins cool in the pan for 10 minutes before removing.

Notes

  • Use very ripe bananas for extra sweetness and flavor.
  • Do not use paper liners; they tend to stick to the muffins.
  • These muffins can be frozen for up to 2 months.
  • Great for meal prep—store in an airtight container for 3 days at room temperature or 5 days in the fridge.
