Ingredients
  

  • 1 cup cottage cheese
  • 2 large eggs
  • ¼ cup milk
  • ¼ cup olive oil
  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • ½ cup shredded cheese cheddar or mozzarella
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder

Method
 

  1. Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a 12-cup muffin tin with liners or lightly grease.
  2. In a blender or food processor, blend the cottage cheese until smooth.
  3. In a large bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, olive oil, and blended cottage cheese.
  4. Add the flour, shredded cheese, baking powder, and salt. Stir until just combined.
  5. Divide the batter evenly among the muffin cups, filling about ¾ full.
  6. Bake for 18–22 minutes, or until the tops are lightly golden and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
  7. Let cool slightly before removing from the pan. Serve warm or store for later.

Notes

Store muffins in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 5 days. These muffins freeze well and can be reheated in the microwave for a quick protein-rich snack.
