Instructions

Preheat your oven to 350°F and prepare a muffin tin with liners or nonstick spray.
In a blender, combine oats, pumpkin purée, eggs, cottage cheese, Greek yogurt, maple syrup, and vanilla bean paste. Add in pumpkin pie spice, cinnamon, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. Blend until smooth.
Gently fold mini white chocolate chips into the batter using a spatula.
Evenly distribute the batter into the muffin cups, filling each about three-quarters full. Top with extra chocolate chips if desired.
Bake for 26 – 28 minutes or until a toothpick comes out clean.
Let cool in the tin for about 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack.
