These muffins are a savory twist on your classic bake—packed with protein, greens, and creamy cheeses. They’re perfect for breakfast on the go, a light lunch, or an anytime snack. One batch, endless possibilities. Let your oven bring the comfort!


Ingredients

Scale

2 tablespoons olive oil

6 cups fresh spinach, rough chopped

2 cups cottage cheese (full fat or low fat)

6 large eggs

1 cup crumbled feta cheese

1 cup milk (any kind)

2 cups whole wheat flour

2 teaspoons baking powder

1 teaspoon baking soda

1 teaspoon salt

1/2 teaspoon black pepper


Instructions

Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Lightly grease or line two 12-cup muffin pans.

In a skillet, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add spinach and sauté until wilted. Set aside to cool slightly.

In a large bowl, whisk together cottage cheese, eggs, milk, and feta.

Stir in the cooked spinach.

In a separate bowl, whisk flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, and pepper.

Add dry ingredients to wet and stir until just combined.

Spoon batter into muffin cups, filling each about 3/4 full.

Bake for 20–25 minutes, or until tops are golden and a toothpick comes out clean.

Cool for 5 minutes in the pan, then transfer to a rack.
