Cottage Cheese Muffins

Description
Quick, easy, relatively healthy popover-like muffins made with ingredients you’ll probably have on hand. Can be adapted easily to one’s tastes. A kind reader described them as dry on the outside and moist on the inside like a popover! Exactly!
Ingredients
- ½ cups Flour (A Combination Of Whole Wheat And Bleached)
- ¼ teaspoons Salt
- 1 teaspoon Baking Powder
- ½ cups Small Curd, Low Fat Cottage Cheese
- 1 whole Beaten Egg
- 1 Tablespoon Oil
- 1 Tablespoon Honey
Preparation
Mix dry ingredients. Beat cottage cheese into the egg and then add oil and honey. Stir the dry and wet ingredients together with a fork. This will be lumpy and somewhat dryish.
Divide among six lightly greased muffin cups and bake at 400 degrees F for 15-20 minutes or until lightly browned on top.
This is a very basic recipe that can be changed up as you desire to make them savory or sweet. These are not terribly sweet to begin with, which makes them healthier. Adding a little topping of sugar will add some sweetness. You can add a small handful of blueberries or a swirl of jam in the batter. Or you can make it savory by adding a little shredded cheese on the top before baking. Herbs can be added as well to taste.
Note: This only makes 6 smallish muffins which can be good if you are just making these for your own breakfast or if you tend to overdo it!

I want to try these. Is it the dry curd cottage cheese that is used to make these muffins? Will let you know how yummy they are when I try them. Love cottage cheese.

Yes, you described it perfectly with the popover reference. I’m going to change the description now…

these are delicious! they are dry on the outside like a popover, and moist and fluffy on the inside. I wanted sweet muffins so I added 2 xtra Tbl of honey. I also added flax seeds, cinnamon and topped each one with a sprinkling of splenda brown sugar. they are sooooo great!
