Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup cottage cheese
  • 2 large eggs
  • ¼ cup olive oil
  • ½ cup milk (dairy or non-dairy)
  • 1½ cups all-purpose flour (or half whole wheat flour)
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • ½ teaspoon baking soda
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • ½ teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1 cup fresh spinach, chopped
  • ½ cup feta cheese, crumbled
  • 2 tablespoons fresh dill or parsley, chopped (optional)

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease or line a 12-cup muffin tin.
  2. In a blender or food processor, blend cottage cheese, eggs, olive oil, and milk until smooth.
  3. In a large bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, and garlic powder.
  4. Pour wet ingredients into dry and stir until just combined. Fold in spinach, feta, and herbs.
  5. Divide batter evenly among muffin cups, filling about ¾ full.
  6. Bake for 20–25 minutes, until tops are golden and a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
  7. Cool in the pan for 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack. Serve warm or at room temperature.
