INGREDIENT NOTES:

EGGS:

We use eggs to make the muffins light and fluffy. You can replace them with egg substitute or liquid egg whites.

COTTAGE CHEESE:

To add protein and maintain the muffins’ softness and moisture, make use of cottage cheese. Ricotta cheese, Greek yogurt, farmer’s cheese, and blended tofu may all be used as alternative ingredients.

SPINACH:

We add fresh spinach for antioxidants and nutrients. You can swap it with kale, Swiss chard, baby kale, or chopped broccoli.

RED BELL PEPPER:

Use red bell pepper to add natural sweetness and vitamin C. As a substitute, use yellow bell pepper, orange bell pepper, zucchini, or mushrooms.

GREEN ONIONS:

We use green onions to provide a mild onion flavor. You can replace them with chives, shallots, diced red onion, or leeks.

PARSLEY:

For added freshness and flavor, incorporate fresh parsley. Cilantro, dill, basil, or chives are all acceptable replacements.

TURMERIC:

We utilize turmeric because of its warm taste and anti-inflammatory qualities. Turmeric paste or freshly grated turmeric may also be preferred in its place.

BLACK PEPPER:

To boost the taste and absorption of turmeric, include black pepper. White pepper or a dash of cayenne pepper might be used in its place.

GARLIC POWDER:

We add garlic powder for a savory taste. You may utilize fresh minced garlic or roasted garlic rather.

PARMESAN CHEESE:

Use Parmesan cheese to add a rich, cheesy topping. You can replace it with nutritional yeast or Pecorino Romano.

OLIVE OIL:

We include olive oil to coat a pan and prevent sticking. Avocado or coconut oil could be utilized as another choice.

INSTRUCTIONS:

Warm the oven to 190°Celcius and coat a twelve-cup muffin tin using olive oil.
In a big vessel, whip the eggs till they are smoother.
Whisk in the cottage cheese.
Include the parsley, bell pepper, spinach, & green onions.
Blend the salt, turmeric, black pepper, garlic powder, and onion powder.
Distribute the mixture equally in the muffin cups; pour roughly ¾ full in each.
Garnish the surface with Parmesan cheese if required.
Bake till the muffins are completely set and puffed, for almost twenty-two minutes.
Before eliminating them from the pan, allow the muffins to cool for almost five minutes.
Serve these soft and fluffy muffins hot.

TIPS:

Include chili flakes or smoked paprika for additional flavor.
We incorporate the cottage cheese to provide a smooth texture.
Perfectly cut the veggies for uniform cooking.
Avoid baking these muffins for an extra time to maintain their soft texture.
