Step‑by‑Step Instructions for Cottage Cheese Muffins

  • Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and prepare a muffin tin by lining it with paper liners or lightly greasing each cup.
  • In a large mixing bowl, combine 1 cup of cottage cheese, ¼ cup of olive oil, and 2 large eggs. Whisk until smooth and creamy.
  • In a separate bowl, sift together 1 cup of all-purpose flour, 1 teaspoon of baking powder, ½ teaspoon of baking soda, and ½ teaspoon of salt.
  • Gradually add the dry mixture to the wet ingredients and gently fold until just combined. Optionally fold in ½ cup of shredded cheese and 1 tablespoon of herbs.
  • Spoon the batter into the prepared muffin tin, filling each cup about two-thirds full.
  • Bake for 25-30 minutes until golden brown and a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
  • Allow the muffins to cool in the pan for a few minutes before transferring to a wire rack.

Notes

Avoid overmixing, use room temperature ingredients, and allow muffins to cool slightly in the tin for best results.
