Cottage Cheese Apple Cinnamon Roll Muffins

Instructions

1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a muffin tin with paper liners or lightly grease with cooking spray.
2. In a large bowl, combine the cottage cheese, sugar, eggs, and vanilla extract. Mix until smooth.
3. In another bowl, sift together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, cinnamon, and salt.
4. Add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients and stir just until combined.
5. Gently fold in the diced apples and melted butter into the batter.
6. Divide the batter evenly among the prepared muffin cups, filling each about three-quarters full.
7. Sprinkle a mixture of cinnamon and sugar on top of each muffin for added flavor.
8. Bake in the preheated oven for 25 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
9. Let the muffins cool in the tin for a few minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.

Chef’s Tips

• For extra flavor, add a handful of raisins or walnuts to the batter.
• Make sure to use small-curd cottage cheese for a smoother texture.
• Store muffins in an airtight container for up to 3 days at room temperature.
