Cottage cheese and oats instead of flour, bound with mashed banana and egg. They come out closer to a baked oatmeal than a bakery muffin, and they carry real protein rather than just sugar. Nothing sweetens them but the bananas and a drizzle of maple on top.
Press the blueberries or raisins into the tops rather than folding them through the batter. Folded in they sink; pressed in they stay where you can see them.
