How to Make Cottage Cheese Cinnamon Roll Muffins

PIN IT

Start by preheating your oven to 180°C (350°F) and lining a muffin tray.

In a blender, combine cottage cheese, eggs, vanilla, and sweetener until completely smooth. This step is key for that bakery-style texture.

In a bowl, mix almond flour, coconut flour, baking powder, cinnamon, and salt.

Pour the wet mixture into the dry ingredients and stir until you get a thick, fluffy batter.

Now prepare the cinnamon swirl by mixing melted butter, cinnamon, sweetener, and chopped pecans.

Spoon muffin batter into each mold, filling halfway.

Add a spoonful of cinnamon pecan swirl in the center, then top with more batter.

Swirl lightly with a toothpick for that cinnamon roll effect.

Bake for 18–22 minutes until golden and set.

Let them cool slightly… and enjoy that warm cinnamon bakery smell filling your kitchen
