Step-by-Step Instructions for Cottage Cheese Muffin
  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and prepare a muffin tin with paper liners or grease it.
  2. In a large bowl, mix the cottage cheese, eggs, and sweetener until smooth.
  3. In another bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, and salt.
  4. Gradually fold the dry ingredients into the wet mixture until just combined. Add fruits or mix-ins.
  5. Spoon the batter into the muffin tin, filling each about two-thirds full. Bake for 18-22 minutes.
  6. Remove from the oven, cool for 5 minutes in the tin, then transfer to a wire rack.
