1 cup cottage cheese the star ingredient that adds creaminess and protein to your muffins
1 cup all-purpose flour or whole wheat flour for added fiber
1 teaspoon baking powder helps your muffins rise
0.5 teaspoon baking soda enhances browning
0.5 teaspoon salt balances the flavors
0.25 cup olive oil adds moisture; can substitute with melted coconut oil
0.5 cup chopped vegetables spinach, bell peppers, or zucchini work well
1 tablespoon herbs such as chives or parsley
0.25 teaspoon black pepper adds warmth
2 large eggs binds ingredients together

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a muffin tin or line with muffin liners.
In a large bowl, combine cottage cheese, olive oil, and eggs, mixing until creamy.
In a separate bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, and black pepper.
Gradually combine the dry mix with the wet ingredients, stirring gently.
Fold in chopped vegetables and herbs until evenly distributed.
Fill muffin tin cups about ¾ full with the batter.
Bake for 25-30 minutes until golden brown and a toothpick comes out clean.
Allow muffins to cool for 5 minutes in the tin before transferring to a wire rack.

Avoid overmixing the batter to keep muffins fluffy. Fresh veggies are recommended for best results.
