1 cup cottage cheese blended smooth
2 eggs large
2 bananas ripe and mashed
1/4 cup maple syrup
2 cups rolled oats blended into a rough flour
1 cup carrots squeezed dry and finely grated
1 tsp baking powder
1 tsp cinnamon
1/2 tsp nutmeg
1/4 cup raisins and/or chopped walnuts

Instructions

Start by pulsing the rolled oats in a blender until they resemble a coarse flour.
In a large bowl, whisk together the cottage cheese, eggs, mashed bananas, and maple syrup until smooth.
Stir the oat flour, baking powder, cinnamon, and nutmeg into the wet mixture, combining well.
Gently fold in the dry grated carrots and your choice of raisins or walnuts.
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
Divide the batter evenly into a greased or lined 12-cup muffin tin.
Bake for 20-25 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
