Cinnamon Cottage Cheese Muffins (Gluten Free!)

I started sharing recipes lately which I have been enjoying and you all seem to be loving as well! These Cinnamon Cottage Cheese Muffins are delicious, simple to make and gluten free. I personally do not like cottage cheese, but I make an exception for these yummy muffins!

Ingredients

cooking spray

1 1/2 cups old fashioned oats (quick cook oats also work)

1 cup low fat cottage cheese (I prefer low fat but you can use whatever variety you wish)

2 eggs

2 Tbs maple syrup (you can substitute with honey or your favorite sweetener)

2 tsp vanilla extract

2 tsp baking powder

2 tsp ground cinnamon

1/2 tsp pumpkin pie spice (you can substitute with nutmeg)

1/4 tsp salt

1/2 cup dark chocolate chips (optional)

Directions

Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
In a blender, blend all ingredients except chocolate chips.
Stir in chocolate chips (if using).
Spray a muffin tin with cooking spray.
Pour the mixture in the muffin tin, filling about 1/3 full.
Bake for 25 minutes.
Let cool, then enjoy!
