    The inspiration for this recipe came from my having leftover cottage cheese, which I decided to incorporate into some muffins. (Because, why not?)

    The cottage cheese is the secret ingredient in these muffins. It makes these muffins so tender and gives them an enjoyable, creamy taste.

    And that oatmeal streusel topping is just totally irresistible!

    Tips & Tricks

    These cottage cheese muffins make a great base recipe for all kinds of muffin creations. Try adding fresh or frozen berries or nuts for a new spin.

    These muffins make a fantastic on-the-go snack, and are also perfect for packing in your lunchbox. They're super kid friendly!

      I used dry cottage cheese so added some milk to it but it was not enough. Ended up adding some yoghurt/milk mix to make the them moist enough. They were then a bit too moist. But I will adjust next time because they are tasty.
