- Why is the middle sticky?
- Oats bind a lot of water, maybe it didn't bake enough. Or you added too much liquid.
- Can I use fine oats?
- Yes, the texture will be more uniform. Large rolled oats give a more rustic, chewy texture.
Curd cheese & oat muffins
The cake version of morning porridge. Oat fibres slowly absorb moisture, and curd cheese proteins give structure to the batter. This muffin is not the light sponge category, but a denser, more substantial texture that keeps you full for long.

Instructions
1
✓
Preheat oven to 180°C. Line the muffin tray.
Tip: Hot oven gives instant heat shock, helping baking powder lift heavy batter.
2
✓
Mix dry ingredients: oats, baking powder, salt.
Tip: Don't skip salt, or oats will taste 'empty'.
3
✓
Whisk eggs, mix smooth with curd cheese, milk, honey, and vanilla.
Tip: Mash curd cheese with fork so no large lumps remain.
4
✓
Pour wet mixture onto oats and fold together.
Tip: Let stand for 5 mins so oats absorb moisture (hydration).
5
✓
Portion into cases (3/4 full) and bake 20-25 mins until top is golden brown.
Tip: Check with skewer. Since no flour, texture remains moister.
