    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!

      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.

      These muffins are delicious. Great with tea or milk or as a quick protein filled snack. I would highly recommend that you use a sieve to drain the excess liquid from the cottage cheese to make a fluffier and less dense muffin. Also, straining beforehand makes these muffins stay fresher longer.

      These muffins were moist, easy and delicious! For my tastes I might use a little less sugar but my daughter will really appreciate them. The topping was also really tasty, though I will try 1/2 the amount of melted butter next time as it was pooled in each of the muffin cups when it finished cooking. Thank you so much for sharing.

      These were quick, easy & delicious. A perfect amount of sweetness, though you could probably reduce the sugar a bit if you’re concerned about it. The topping was tasty. It left a pool of melted butter at the bottom of the muffins so I think I’ll try to reduce it a bit next time. Will definitely make these regularly. Thanks for sharing!
