These Cottage Cheese Muffins are soft, fluffy, and packed with protein! Naturally sweetened with bananas and honey, they make a healthy breakfast or snack. Made with whole wheat or all-purpose flour, they have a hearty texture and moist richness from cottage cheese. Perfect for meal prep, these muffins store well and can be customized with chocolate chips, nuts, or berries.
