Ingredients
  

For the Muffin Batter
  • 1 cup Cottage Cheese Substituting with Greek yogurt will achieve a similar creamy texture.
  • 2 large Eggs Essential for binding and structure; no substitutes needed.

  • 1 tsp Baking Powder Ensures muffins rise and stay fluffy; check for freshness.
  • 1 tsp Vanilla Extract Use pure vanilla for a richer taste.
  • 1 tsp Cinnamon Swapping it for nutmeg can offer a unique spice profile.
  • 1 cup Diced Strawberries Opt for thawed and dried frozen strawberries if fresh aren’t available.
  • 1 tbsp Sweetener (optional) Consider stevia or erythritol for a low-calorie option.

Step‑by‑Step Instructions
  1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and prepare a muffin tin by greasing it or using silicone liners.
  2. In a large mixing bowl, whisk the eggs until blended, then add cottage cheese and mix until smooth.
  3. Sprinkle in almond flour, baking powder, vanilla extract, cinnamon, and sweetener. Stir until well combined.
  4. Gently fold in the diced strawberries using a spatula.
  5. Pour the batter into the greased muffin tin, filling each cup about two-thirds full.
  6. Bake for 18-20 minutes until golden-brown. Perform the toothpick test for doneness.
  7. Let cool on a wire rack for about 5 minutes before transferring muffins to cool completely.
