Soft, lightly spiced pumpkin muffins made mini for

Soft, lightly spiced pumpkin muffins made mini for little hands — perfect for lunchboxes or school snacks, with a protein boost you’d never taste.

Instructions: Preheat oven to 350°F and grease or line a mini muffin tin. Whisk together the pumpkin puree, cottage cheese, eggs, maple syrup, melted butter, and vanilla until smooth. Add the flour, baking powder, baking soda, pumpkin pie spice, and salt, folding just until no streaks of flour remain, then fold in the chocolate chips if using. Fill each mini muffin cup about ¾ full and bake for 10-12 minutes, until a toothpick comes out clean. Let cool in the pan for 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack.

Makes 24 mini muffins
