Rich, fudgy, and packed with cozy pumpkin flavor, these mini keto pumpkin chocolate peanut butter cottage cheese muffins are basically dessert-for-breakfast. They’re naturally gluten-free, sugar-free, and made with simple ingredients - no fancy tools, no messy bowls, just a blender and a muffin tin.

Instructions

  • Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a muffin tin with parchment or use silicone liners.
  • In a blender or food processor, add all the wet ingredients: cottage cheese, pumpkin puree, peanut butter and eggs.
    1/2 cup full-fat cottage cheese, 1/2 cup Pumpkin Puree, 1/4 cup smooth peanut butter (natural, 100%, sugar free), 2 large eggs
  • Blend until smooth and creamy.
  • Now add the dry ingredients: almond flour, sweetener, cocoa powder, baking powder, pumpkin pie spice, salt
    1/3 cup Swerve (granulated), 3/4 cup almond flour, 2 tablespoons cocoa powder - unsweetened, 1 teaspoon baking powder, 1 teaspoon Pumpkin Spice, 1/8 teaspoon salt
  • Blend again until it turns into smooth muffin batter. Fold in the chocolate chips.
    3 tablespoons Lily's Dark Chocolate Chips
  • Use an ice cream scoop or spoon to fill your muffin tin (makes 12 mini muffins). Optional: swirl in a bit of peanut butter on top for that TikTok-worthy look.
  • Bake for 14–17 minutes. Mine were done at 16. A toothpick should come out with a few moist crumbs.
  • Let cool completely in the tin. These guys firm up as they cool.

Notes

  • Muffins won’t rise much. That’s normal! They stay dense and fudgy.
  • Use full-fat cottage cheese for the best texture and protein.
  • Don’t confuse pumpkin puree with pumpkin pie filling.
  • Skip chocolate chips to lower the carbs (but they’re so worth it).
  • If using allulose, muffins may brown faster — check at 14 mins.
  • Great with keto vanilla ice cream or almond milk latte.
