Savory Cottage Cheese Breakfast Muffins

• doses: 12 servings
• tempo ativo: 15 minutes
• tempo total: 40 minutes

Ingredientes

1 lb turkey breakfast sausages (removed from the casing)

4 eggs

¼ cup milk

1 cup 2% cottage cheese

1 tbsp olive oil

1 tbsp maple syrup

1 ½ cups all purpose flour

2 tsp baking powder

½ tsp salt

3 cups chopped vegetables (broccoli, spinach etc.)

3 green onions (greens and whites sliced finely)

1 cup cheddar cheese (shredded)

Instruções

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 tbsp (one heaping ¼ cup) of batter per muffin. Top with additional cheese and bake for 23-27 minutes.

Notas

I HIGHLY recommend using either silicone muffins liners or a silicone muffin tray. This batter is quite sticky, and using regular muffin liners or just greasing the muffin tin will make it quite difficult to remove the muffins in one piece.

*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!)

** tougher veggies like broccoli, cauliflower, diced carrots etc. should be lightly steamed before being added. Softer veggies such as spinach, bell peppers and kale can be added to the batter raw!

Storage: These muffins can be stored in the fridge for up to 5 days in an airtight container. For longer storage, they can be wrapped individually using plastic wrap or tin foil and stored in the freezer for up to 3 months.

To reheat, you can microwave them for about 1 minute or air fry at 325°F for about 5-7 minutes!
