Easy Savory Muffins: A Healthy and Delicious Treat

These muffins are a fantastic option for a nutritious and flavorful snack. They’re simple to prepare, packed with good-for-you ingredients, and can be enjoyed warm or at room temperature.

Here’s what you’ll need:

• 1 cup whole wheat flour
• 1/2 cup rolled oats
• 1/2 cup skim milk
• 1/2 cup cottage cheese
• 1/2 cup grated carrot
• 1/2 cup grated zucchini
• 1/2 cup chopped onion
• 1 tablespoon baking powder
• 1 tablespoon olive oil
• Salt and pepper to taste

Instructions:

1. Preheat your oven to 180°C (350°F). Grease a muffin tin or line it with muffin liners.

2. In a large bowl, whisk together the dry ingredients: whole wheat flour, rolled oats, baking powder, salt, and pepper.

3. Add the wet ingredients to the dry mix: skim milk, cottage cheese, grated carrot, grated zucchini, chopped onion, and olive oil. Fold everything together gently until just combined. Don’t overmix!

4. Divide the batter evenly among the muffin cups.

5. Bake for 25 minutes, or until the muffins are golden brown and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.

6. Let the muffins cool slightly in the pan before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.

Tips:

• Feel free to experiment with different vegetables! Chopped bell peppers, spinach, or mushrooms would all be delicious additions.
• If you prefer a chewier muffin, add 1/2 cup of shredded cheese to the batter.
• For a vegan option, use plant-based milk and vegan cheese.

Enjoy these muffins as a healthy snack, light breakfast, or even a side dish for lunch or dinner!
