4 eggs
1/2 teaspoon baking powder
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
1/4 teaspoon salt
Filling:
1/4 cup maple syrup
2 tablespoon ground cinnamon
2 tablespoon no sugar added applesauce
Glaze:
1/2 cup Greek Yogurt
1/4 cup vanilla protein powder
1/4 cup no sugar added applesauce
1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
Instructions
Preheat the Oven
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a muffin tin with paper liners or lightly grease with cooking spray.
Prepare the Batter
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the almond flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
In a blender or separate bowl, combine the cottage cheese, maple syrup, and eggs. Blend or whisk until smooth.
Gradually fold the wet mixture into the dry ingredients until just combined. Avoid overmixing.
Make the Filling
In a small bowl, mix the maple syrup, cinnamon, and applesauce to create a thick, spiced filling.
Assemble the Muffins
Scoop a tablespoon of batter into each muffin cup, spreading it evenly to cover the bottom.
Add about a teaspoon of the filling on top of the batter in each cup.
Cover the filling with another tablespoon of batter, ensuring the filling is encased in the center.
Bake the Muffins
Place the muffin tin in the preheated oven and bake for 20-25 minutes, or until the tops are golden and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
Prepare the Glaze
While the muffins bake, whisk together the Greek yogurt, vanilla protein powder, applesauce, and vanilla extract in a small bowl until smooth. Adjust consistency with a teaspoon of water if needed.
Cool and Glaze
Allow the muffins to cool in the tin for 5 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.
Drizzle the glaze over the muffins before serving for a sweet, creamy finish.
Tips for Storage
Store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 5 days.
For longer storage, freeze the muffins without the glaze. Thaw and add the glaze just before serving.
These muffins are packed with flavor and nutritionâperfect for breakfast, a snack, or a guilt-free holiday treat. Enjoy! đâ¨
