Ingredients
3/4 cup oat flour
2 eggs
3/4 cup cottage cheese (2%)
1 tsp. vanilla extract
2 tbsp powdered Stevia/Monkfruit
1/2 tsp. cinnamon (optional)
1/2 tsp. baking soda
blackberries (one per mini muffin)
Instructions
1. Preheat your oven to 400°F and prepare a mini muffin tin with liners.
2. In a large bowl, combine the oat flour, eggs, cottage cheese, vanilla extract, powdered Stevia/Monkfruit, cinnamon (optional), and baking soda. Mix well until a smooth batter forms.
3. Gently fold the blackberries into the batter, ensuring even distribution.
Spoon the batter into the prepared mini muffin tin, filling each cup about two-thirds full.
4. Bake in the preheated oven for 6-9 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
5. Allow the mini protein muffins to cool in the tin for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Blackberry Glaze Ingredients
fresh blackberries (for the glaze)
1 tbsp powdered Stevia/Monkfruit
2-3 tbsp milk
½ tsp almond extract (optional)
1-2 tbsp nonfat Greek yogurt (for thickness)
Instructions
1. In a blender or food processor (or just muddle in a bowl with a bit of water), puree a handful of fresh blackberries until smooth.
Optional: Strain the blackberry puree through a fine mesh sieve to remove seeds, collecting the smooth blackberry juice in a bowl.
2. Add powdered Stevia/Monkfruit to the blackberry juice for added sweetness, if desired. Stir until well combined. Add just a bit of milk and 1-2 tbsp of nonfat Greek yogurt to make the glaze thicker.
3. Drizzle the blackberry glaze over the cooled mini muffins, allowing it to drip down the sides for a visually appealing and delicious finish.
Our recipe makes about 12 mini muffins. You can also use the batter to make a cake/loaf, regular-sized muffins, etc.
