Savory Cottage Cheese Breakfast Muffins
My Cottage Cheese Muffins are a savory breakfast that's easy to make, high in protein, and packed with veggies. Only 15 minutes of prep!
Servings: 12 muffins
Ingredients
- 1 lb turkey breakfast sausages removed from the casing
- 4 eggs
- ¼ cup milk
- 1 cup 2% cottage cheese
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 tablespoon maple syrup
- 1.5 cups all purpose flour
- 2 teaspoon baking powder
- ½ teaspoon salt
- 3 cups chopped vegetables broccoli, spinach etc.
- 3 green onions greens and whites sliced finely
- 1 cup cheddar cheese shredded
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 400F.
- Remove the sausages from the casing and cook them in a medium skillet over medium-high heat until browned and no longer pink in colour. Set aside and allow the cooked sausage meat to cool.
- To a large mixing bowl, whisk together eggs, milk, cottage cheese, olive oil and maple syrup.
- To the same bowl, add all purpose flour, baking powder and salt. Mix well using a wooden spoon or silicone spatula.
- Add your cooked sausages, chopped vegetables, green onions and cheese (I recommend leaving some cheese to add to the tops of your muffins).
- Divide batter evenly between 12 muffin cavities, about 4 heaping tablespoon (one heaping ¼ cup) of batter per muffin. Top with additional cheese and bake for 23-27 minutes.
Notes
all purpose flour can be replaced with an equal amont of oat flour, almond flour or whole wheat baking flour. However please note it will alter the texture slightly (almond flour tends to create slightly more moist- muffins that will not rise quite as much!)
