Cottage Cheese Cinnamon Swirl Muffins Directions:
-
Preheat Oven:
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Prepare a 12-cup muffin tin by lining it with paper liners or lightly greasing the cups with non-stick spray. -
Prepare Dry Ingredients:
In a medium-sized mixing bowl, combine almond flour, coconut flour, baking powder, and salt. Stir well to ensure they are evenly distributed. -
Mix Wet Ingredients:
In a large mixing bowl, combine cottage cheese, eggs, and melted light butter. Use an electric mixer or whisk to blend until smooth and well combined. Add vanilla extract and mix again. -
Combine Ingredients:
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, stirring gently until a smooth batter forms. Avoid overmixing. -
Prepare Cinnamon Swirl:
In a small bowl, mix softened light butter, granulated erythritol, and ground cinnamon until smooth and spreadable. -
Assemble Muffins:
Divide the muffin batter evenly among the 12 muffin cups, filling each about 2/3 full. Place a small dollop of the cinnamon swirl mixture on top of each muffin. Use a toothpick or skewer to gently swirl the cinnamon mixture into the batter, creating a marbled effect. -
Add Garnishes (Optional):
If desired, sprinkle the tops of the muffins with chopped nuts or a light sprinkle of additional erythritol and cinnamon mix. -
Bake Muffins:
Bake the muffins in the preheated oven for 18-20 minutes, or until they are golden brown and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. -
Cool Muffins:
Allow the muffins to cool in the tin for about 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely. This helps them set properly and prevents them from falling apart.
