Ingredients

Speckled with kale, these savory cottage cheese muffins are a vegetarian breakfast option that’s easy to prepare!

  • 1 cup cottage cheese
  • 4 eggs
  • 1/4 cup oil
  • 1 1/4 cups whole wheat flour
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1 cup finely chopped kale – from about 8 to 10 leaves, stems removed
  • 1/3 cup shredded parmesan cheese – for topping

Instructions:

  1. Preheat the oven to 350℉. Use a silicone muffin pan, put liners in your standard muffin pan or thoroughly grease the cavities with cooking spray.
  2. In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the cottage cheese, eggs, and oil.
  3. In a measuring cup, stir together the flour, garlic powder, baking powder and soda, and salt.
  4. Add the dry ingredients to the wet ones. Use a rubber spatula to stir until just combined, being careful to not overmix.
  5. Fold in the finely chopped kale
  6. Spoon the batter into the prepared muffin pan, dividing it evenly among the 12 cavities.
  7. Sprinkle each cavity with parmesan cheese.
  8. Bake for 18 to 22 minutes until lightly browned on top and cooked through. A toothpick inserted in the center of a muffin should come out clean.
  9. After baking, cool muffins for a bit while they are still in the pan. Then, gently move them to a plate or rack to completely cool.
