Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1.5 cups all-purpose flour
- 2 teaspoons baking powder
- 0.5 teaspoons baking soda
- 0.25 teaspoons salt
- 0.25 teaspoons ground black pepper
- 2 whole large eggs
- 1 cup cottage cheese
- 0.5 cups milk
- 0.25 cups olive oil
- 1 cup grated cheddar cheese
- 2 tablespoons chopped chives or scallions
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a 12-cup muffin pan with paper liners or grease the cups well.
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, and black pepper until evenly combined.
In a separate medium bowl, whisk the eggs thoroughly. Stir in the cottage cheese, milk, and olive oil until smooth and well blended.
Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and gently mix until just combined. Do not overmix; a few lumps are fine.
Fold in the grated cheddar cheese and chopped chives or scallions, ensuring an even distribution throughout the batter.
Divide the batter equally among the prepared muffin cups, filling each about 3/4 full.
Bake in the preheated oven for 18-20 minutes, or until the tops are golden brown and a toothpick inserted into the center of a muffin comes out clean.
Remove the muffins from the oven and let them cool in the pan for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Serve warm or at room temperature. Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
