Ingredients

Scale
  • 1/4 cup finely diced ham
  • 1/2 cup grated sharp cheddar
  • 2 T sliced green onions
  • 2/3 cup cottage cheese
  • 1/4 cup grated Parmesan
  • 1/4 cup white whole wheat flour
  • 2/3 cup almond flour
  • 1 tsp. baking powder
  • 1/4 tsp. salt
  • 4 eggs, beaten
  • 3 T water

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 400 F. Spray large Silicone Baking Cups with non-stick spray or olive oil, or use foil muffin cups.
  2. Dice the ham, slice green onions, and measure out the grated cheese.
  3. In mixing bowl, combine cottage cheese, Parmesan, white whole wheat flour, almond meal, baking powder, salt, eggs, and water.
  4. Mix until well combined, then gently stir in ham, sharp cheddar, and green onions.
  5. Divide batter between six muffin cups.
  6. Bake muffins 25-30 minutes or until lightly browned on top and set. If you’re going to be microwaving, bake about 25 minutes, for eating immediately use closer to 30 minutes.
  7. Muffins can be refrigerated and reheated in the microwave. Be careful not to microwave too long or they will get tough.
