Instructions
Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Line or grease two 12-cup muffin pans.
In a large bowl, whisk cottage cheese, eggs, maple syrup, milk, oil, and vanilla until smooth.
In another bowl, combine all-purpose flour, whole wheat flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, and spices.
Add dry ingredients to the wet and stir just until combined. Fold in optional add-ins if using.
Scoop batter evenly into muffin cups.
Bake for 20–25 minutes, or until a toothpick comes out clean.
Let cool for 5 minutes in the pan, then transfer to a rack.
