Ingredients
Scale
- 1 cup cottage cheese
- 3 large eggs
- 1/2 cup granular sweetener (like erythritol-based)
- 1 3/4 cup almond flour
- 1/2 cup whey protein powder (vanilla or unflavored)
- 2 tsp baking powder
- 1/4 tsp salt
- Zest of one lemon
- 3 tbsp fresh lemon juice
- 1 1/2 tbsp poppy seeds
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 325°F (160°C) and line a standard 12-cup muffin pan with silicone or parchment liners.
- Combine the cottage cheese, eggs, and sweetener in a blender. Blend until the mixture is smooth and creamy.
- Add the almond flour, whey protein powder, baking powder, and salt to the blender. Blend until everything is fully mixed.
- Stir in the lemon zest and lemon juice. If the batter seems too thick, add a splash of water or milk until it’s pourable.
- Fold in the poppy seeds gently.
- Divide the batter among the muffin cups, filling each almost to the top.
- Bake for 25-30 minutes or until the tops are puffed up and firm to the touch.
- Allow the muffins to cool in the pan for 15-20 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
