Why You’ll Love These Muffins

  • High in Protein: Cottage cheese and peanut butter make these muffins a great source of protein.

  • Moist & Fluffy: Thanks to the cottage cheese, these muffins have a wonderfully soft texture.

  • Naturally Sweetened: You can use honey or maple syrup for a refined sugar-free option.

  • Perfect for On-the-Go: Great for busy mornings or as a pre/post-workout snack.
