Description

A delicious and healthy muffin recipe packed with protein and flavor from cheese and flaxseed.


Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup cottage cheese, rinsed and drained well
  • 1 1/2 cups blanched almond flour
  • 1 1/2 cups flax seed meal
  • 1 cup finely grated Parmesan
  • 2 1/2 tablespoons baking powder
  • 2 teaspoons Spike Seasoning
  • 8 eggs, beaten so they’re well combined
  • 1/2 cup thinly sliced green onion

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 375F/190 C and spray Silicone Baking Cups with non-stick spray.
  2. Dump the cottage cheese into a colander with small holes that’s placed in the sink, rinse with cold water, and let the cottage cheese drain well.
  3. Put the almond flour, flaxseed meal, freshly grated Parmesan, baking powder, and Spike Seasoning into a bowl, then mix well with a large spoon until ingredients are evenly combined.
  4. Beat eggs until they’re well combined.
  5. Thinly slice the green onions.
  6. Mix the drained cottage cheese and green onion into the beaten eggs.
  7. Then combine the egg mixture with the dry ingredients (the batter will be stiff, keep mixing until it’s all combined).
  8. Divide the batter into 12 muffin cups, starting with 1/3 cup batter each and then adding a little more if you have extra batter.
  9. Bake 25-27 minutes, or until the top is lightly browned and feels firm.

Notes

  • Use fresh Parmesan cheese for the best flavor.
  • Feel free to substitute another seasoning blend if you don’t have Spike Seasoning.
