Cottage Cheese Muffins

Recipe Description

I don’t know about you, but I actually prefer savory muffins to sweet ones, and these Cottage Cheese Muffins make a delicious healthy snack that will taste good at any time of the day. Try them for breakfast with a boiled egg or with some hummus as a mid-afternoon snack.

To make these delicious muffins, start by melting butter. Add cottage cheese, buttermilk, eggs, and Cheddar cheese to a large mixing bowl and stir in the melted butter. Sift dry ingredients together and add to the cheese & egg mixture. Stir the mixture until just combined before distributing the batter evenly between 12 standard muffin cups. Bake the muffins until golden. Leave to cool slightly before devouring.

To make Cottage Cheese Muffins, you will need the following ingredients:

I made these Cottage Cheese Muffins last weekend and they were superb! I’m not a big fan of sweet stuff, so these savory muffins really hit the spot for breakfast. I paired them with a boiled egg, and it was the perfect meal to start my day. Easy to make too!

Incredible! I whipped these muffins up on a rainy Sunday, and they were so easy. I paired them with some avocado and it was a match made in heaven. I couldn't stop eating them while they fresh from the oven.
