Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups All-purpose flour
- 2 teaspoons Baking powder
- 1 cup No-sodium-added cottage cheese
- 1 cup Grated low-sodium mozzarella cheese
- 4 tablespoons Unsalted butter
- 1 large Egg
- 1 cup Milk
- 2 tablespoons Fresh chives, chopped
- 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and lightly grease a donut pan with unsalted butter or oil spray.
In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, garlic powder, and black pepper until well combined.
In another bowl, beat the egg and mix in the no-sodium-added cottage cheese, milk, and melted unsalted butter. Stir until the mixture is smooth.
Gradually fold the wet mixture into the dry ingredients, stirring until just combined and smooth to avoid overmixing.
Add the grated low-sodium mozzarella cheese and chopped chives to the batter, until they are evenly distributed.
Spoon the batter into the prepared donut pan, filling each cavity about 3/4 full.
Bake in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes, or until the donuts are golden brown and a toothpick inserted into one comes out clean.
Remove the donuts from the oven and let them cool in the pan for about 5 minutes, then transfer 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.
