  • Using an immersion blender or small blender to puree together, the pumpkin and cottage cheese, until smooth.
  • Transfer the blended cottage cheese mixture to a large bowl. Add the oil, maple syrup, vanilla, and eggs to the large bowl. Whisk everything together until smooth.
  • Add the dry ingredients and chopped pecans to the bowl with the wet ingredients.
  • Use a rubber spatula to fold the dry ingredients into the wet until there is no more visible dry ingredients. Make sure to not overmix.
  • Use two soup spoons, or a cookie scoop, to divide the batter into the 12 prepared muffin cavities.
  • Bake the Pumpkin Cottage Cheese Muffins in the preheated 375F oven for 25 minutes. Check for doneness with a toothpick after 22 minutes. If the toothpick inserted in the center of a muffin comes out clean, they are ready to take out of the oven.
  • Let the muffins cool for 10-15 minutes and enjoy!
