Ingredients

Fresh dates

12 individual, pitted, roughly chopped

Baking powder

2 tsp

97% fat-free cottage cheese

1 cup(s), (250g)

Quick oats

2 cup(s), (180g)

Egg(s)

3 medium

Vanilla bean extract, alcohol free

2 tsp

Fresh strawberries

250 g, sliced

Instructions

1. Preheat oven to 180°C. Line a 12-hole ⅓ cup (80 ml) capacity muffin tray with paper cases.
2. Combine dates and 2 tablespoons boiling water in a large microwave–safe bowl. Cover and microwave on High (100%) for 1½ minutes. Stir in baking powder (mixture will foam).
3. Process cottage cheese in a food processor until smooth. Add oats, eggs, vanilla and date mixture and process until combined (to prevent a dense texture, do not overprocess). Add 200 g strawberries and pulse to combine.
4. Spoon mixture evenly into paper cases. Scatter over remaining strawberries and lightly press into the mixture. Bake for 30 minutes or until golden and a skewer inserted into the centre of muffins comes out clean. Stand in tray for 5 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack. Serve warm or cooled.
