Cottage Cheese Muffins

Looking for a simple muffin recipe that’s light and fluffy? Then you’ll love this one. It’s mildly sweet and lends perfectly to toppings like butter, a dollop of yogurt and of course cottage cheese!

This recipe is SIMPLE. There’s not a lot of fuss here. Occasionally, yes I like a recipe that requires more effort. But for most of the time, it’s recipes like this one that I go to.

Recipe Ingredients

The ingredients you’ll need are pretty simple:

• Flour – This recipe uses all purpose flour and whole wheat flour together.
• Cottage Cheese – It’s the star of the show! You’ll need 1 cup of cottage cheese.
• Sugar – To sweeten these muffins you can use light brown sugar, coconut sugar or lakanto monkfruit sweetener (it’s sugar-free)
• Other Baking Ingredients – You’ll also need baking soda, baking powder, unsalted butter, an egg and some milk.

How To Make Cottage Cheese Muffins

• Wet Ingredients – First, cream the butter and sugar. Next add the eggs and milk. Now stir in the cottage cheese.
• Dry Ingredients – In a separate bowl mix the flours, baking soda and powder.
• Mix – Add the wet ingredients to the dry and mix until it’s just combined.
• Bake – Divide the batter into a greased muffin pan. Bake for 20 minutes at 375°F.

To Serve

• Serve at Sunday brunch with a dollop of yogurt, butter or more cottage cheese. This would taste great alongside my crustless quiche recipe.
• Eat as an afternoon snack.
• Eat as a biscuit with soups and stews, roast beef, turkey dinners, chicken etc.

Storing

• These muffins can be stored on the counter or in the fridge in an airtight container for up to 1 week.
• You can also freeze these muffins easily. I like to wrap mine individually in parchment and place them all in a large freezer bag. This helps to prevent freezer burn. You can store these indefinitely in the freezer, but they tend to taste freshest when gobbled up within 3 months.
