These savory vegetarian muffin loaves are a delightful twist on traditional meatloaf, perfect for a healthy and satisfying meal.
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
Ensure the oven is fully preheated before baking for even cooking.
In a mixing bowl, combine the cottage cheese, eggs, olive oil, walnuts, onion, oats, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper.
Mix gently to avoid breaking the walnuts too much, maintaining a nice texture.
Spoon the mixture evenly into a muffin tin, filling each cup about three-quarters full.
Use a spoon or ice cream scoop for even portions.
Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until the tops are golden and firm to the touch.
Check doneness by inserting a toothpick into the center; it should come out clean.
Allow the muffins to cool in the tin for 5 minutes before serving.
Letting them cool slightly helps them firm up and makes them easier to remove from the tin.
