Ingredients:

Batter:

• 1 1/2 cup almond flour

• 1 cup Cottage Cheese

• 1/2 cup maple syrup

• 4 eggs

• 1/2 teaspoon baking powder

• 1/2 teaspoon baking soda

• 1/4 teaspoon salt

Filling:

• 1/4 cup maple syrup

• 2 tablespoon ground cinnamon

• 2 tablespoon no sugar added applesauce

Glaze:

• 1/2 cup Greek Yogurt

• 1/4 cup vanilla protein powder

• 1/4 cup no sugar added applesauce

• 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract

Instructions

1. Preheat the Oven

   • Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a muffin tin with paper liners or lightly grease with cooking spray.

2. Prepare the Batter

   • In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the almond flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.

   • In a blender or separate bowl, combine the cottage cheese, maple syrup, and eggs. Blend or whisk until smooth.

   • Gradually fold the wet mixture into the dry ingredients until just combined. Avoid overmixing.

3. Make the Filling

   • In a small bowl, mix the maple syrup, cinnamon, and applesauce to create a thick, spiced filling.

4. Assemble the Muffins

   • Scoop a tablespoon of batter into each muffin cup, spreading it evenly to cover the bottom.

   • Add about a teaspoon of the filling on top of the batter in each cup.

   • Cover the filling with another tablespoon of batter, ensuring the filling is encased in the center.

5. Bake the Muffins

   • Place the muffin tin in the preheated oven and bake for 20-25 minutes, or until the tops are golden and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.

6. Prepare the Glaze

   • While the muffins bake, whisk together the Greek yogurt, vanilla protein powder, applesauce, and vanilla extract in a small bowl until smooth. Adjust consistency with a teaspoon of water if needed.

7. Cool and Glaze

   • Allow the muffins to cool in the tin for 5 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.

   • Drizzle the glaze over the muffins before serving for a sweet, creamy finish.

Tips for Storage

• Store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 5 days.

• For longer storage, freeze the muffins without the glaze. Thaw and add the glaze just before serving.

These muffins are packed with flavor and nutrition—perfect for breakfast, a snack, or a guilt-free holiday treat. Enjoy! 🎄✨
