If you have kids, you know the soundtrack: “Can I have a snack?” These super moist muffins are our answer. I was inspired by my cousin’s two boys (like my son, Cardon), who love anything sweet but wake up ravenous. These muffins satisfy the craving without sending their blood sugar on a roller coaster. Thanks to protein from cottage cheese and protein powder, they deliver steady energy instead of a quick spike, all while tasting like a treat.
¼ cup coconut oil or butter, melted
¼ cup maple syrup
2 large eggs, room temperature
2 ripe bananas, mashed (or 1 ½ if very large)
½ cup low-fat cottage cheese or full-fat for richer texture
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
½ cup oats
2 cups almond flour (you can sub with whole wheat flour or oat flour)
1 tablespoon psyllium
½ cup protein powder of choice
1 ½ teaspoons baking powder
½ teaspoon baking soda
½ teaspoon salt
½ teaspoon ground cinnamon
1 cup blueberries, fresh preferred (if using frozen, toss with 1 teaspoon oat flour before adding)
2-4 tablespoons coconut sugar, optional
