4 Ingredient Keto Cottage Cheese Muffins
These savory muffins are high protein, low carb and keto-friendly. They are an easy one-bowl recipe. No special tools needed, not even a mixer or a blender! Just mix all the ingredients with a whisk, scoop into your muffin pan and bake.
Ingredients
- 2 cups (176g) blanched superfine almond flour
- 1 tbsp (13g) aluminum-free baking powder
- 1 cup (244g) small curds cottage cheese, 4%, see note before starting
- 4 large eggs, approx 202 grams without shells
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease 10 cavities of a standard muffin pan with cooking oil spray. Alternatively, you can also line the pan with muffin/cupcake liners.
- Add almond flour, baking powder, cottage cheese and eggs to a large mixing bowl. Whisk until the batter is evenly mixed and the eggs and almond flour have been fully incorporated. There should not be any streaks of unmixed egg whites or yolks.
- Use an ice cream scoop with a release mechanism or a large cookie scoop to scoop the batter into your prepared muffin pan (about 1/4 cup of batter per muffin).
- Bake muffins for about 18-20 minutes or until they are dark golden brown on top and fully cooked. A toothpick inserted should come out clean. Let muffins cool slightly before removing them from the pan.
- Muffins are best enjoyed warm. Store any uneaten muffins in an airtight container in the fridge or freezer.
Notes
- Cottage cheese note: This recipe works best with a high protein cottage cheese that contains 13 or 14 grams of protein per 1/2 cup (110g) serving. I tested with Good Culture brand* and Amazon Grocery brand.* Avoid brands like Knudsen which don't contain as much protein.
- I used Amazon Fresh superfine almond flour.*
- I used Whole Foods 365 aluminum free baking powder.* Some other brands that make aluminum free baking powder are Argo and Bob's Red Mill.
