Tips for Success

Use well-blended cottage cheese for a smoother texture.

Do not overmix after adding flour to keep muffins soft.

Optional: sprinkle a few chopped nuts or chocolate chips on top before baking.

Sweeter option: add 1 tbsp honey or maple syrup extra.

Extra spice: increase ginger or cinnamon by ½ tsp for more warmth.
