Servings: 6 muffins
Calories: 225kcal
Equipment
- 6 Silicone Baking Cups
Ingredients
- 1/4 cup ham finely diced
- 1/2 cup sharp cheddar grated
- 2 T green onions sliced
- 2/3 cup cottage cheese
- 1/4 cup Parmesan grated
- 1/4 cup white whole wheat flour see notes
- 2/3 cup almond flour
- 1 tsp. baking powder
- 1/4 tsp. salt
- 4 eggs beaten
- 3 T water
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 400 F. Spray large Silicone Baking Cups with non-stick spray or olive oil, or use foil muffin cups. (I would spray those too.)
- Dice the ham, slice green onions, and measure out the grated cheese.
- In mixing bowl, combine cottage cheese, Parmesan, white whole wheat flour (or Flaxseed Meal or Hemp Hearts), almond flour, baking powder, salt, eggs, and water.
- Mix until well combined, then gently stir in ham, sharp cheddar, and green onions.
- Divide batter between six muffin cups.
- Bake muffins 25-30 minutes or until lightly browned on top and set. (If you’re going to be microwaving, I would bake about 25 minutes, for eating immediately I would use closer to 30 minutes.)
- Muffins can be refrigerated and reheated in microwave. Be careful not to microwave too long or they will get tough.
