(Makes ~12 bites)
Ingredients
1 ripe banana, mashed
½ cup cottage cheese (high-protein or 2–4% for best texture)
½ cup oats (rolled or quick oats)
2 large eggs
1 scoop vanilla protein powder (optional but highly recommended for extra protein)
¼ tsp baking powder
¼ tsp cinnamon (optional)
1 tsp vanilla extract
Optional mix-ins:
2 tbsp chocolate chips
2 tbsp chopped nuts
½ cup blueberries
Instructions
- Preheat Oven
Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C).
Line a mini muffin tin (12 cavities) with silicone cups or lightly grease.
- Prepare the Batter
In a blender or mixing bowl, combine:
Banana
Cottage cheese
Eggs
Vanilla extract
Protein powder (if using)
Blend or whisk until smooth.
Stir in oats, baking powder, cinnamon, and optional mix-ins.
Let the batter rest 3–5 minutes so oats absorb moisture slightly.
- Fill the Muffin Tin
Spoon the batter evenly into the 12 muffin cups (~2–3 tbsp each).
Smooth the tops with a spoon.
- Bake
Bake for 15–18 minutes, or until lightly golden and a toothpick inserted comes out clean.
Let cool 5 minutes in the pan before removing.
- Serve
Enjoy warm, or store in an airtight container in the fridge for 3–4 days.
Optional toppings: Greek yogurt, nut butter, extra fruit, or sugar-free syrup.
💪 High-Protein Tips
Use high-protein cottage cheese (15–17g per ½ cup)
Add 1 scoop protein powder (adds 20–25g protein per batch)
Fold in Greek yogurt for extra creaminess + protein
Serve with a side of milk or yogurt for even higher protein
Each bite can have roughly 5–7g protein, or 15–25g per 3-bite serving depending on protein powder and cottage cheese used.
