Equipment

  • 1 Medium bowl
  • 1 Whisk
  • 1 Oven
  • 1 12 Cup Muffin Baking Pan
  • 12 Silicone Baking Liners Optional

Ingredients
  

  • 1.5 Cup All Purpose Flour
  • 2.5 Teaspoons Baking Powder
  • ⅔-1 Cup Coconut Sugar or brown sugar
  • 2 Large Eggs
  • 1 Cup Low-Fat Cottage Cheese
  • ¼ Cup Peanut Butter or other nut butter of choice
  • 1 Tsp Vanilla
  • ⅔ Cup Milk of Choice
  • 8 Ounces or 1 Cup Strawberries chopped

Instructions
 

  • Pre-heat your oven to 375 F and set your rack to the middle position.
  • Add your all-purpose flour, baking powder and coconut sugar into a medium bowl. Use a whisk to mix until everything is well combined.
  • Next, add in your eggs, peanut butter or nut butter of choice, cottage cheese, splash of vanilla and milk of choice. Use a whisk or a rubber spatula to mix until just combined. Make sure there are no dry spots and flour stuck to the edge of the bowl.
  • Then, fold in your chopped strawberries, mixing until they are just combined into the batter.
  • Use a medium cookie scoop and evenly distribute your mixture into a 12 inch muffin lined baking pan. Optional: Top with a sprinkle of coconut or brown sugar on top. Bake for 20-25 minutes or until a toothpick comes out clean when stuck into the center of the muffin. Let cool for 10-15 minutes after baking and enjoy!
  • Hint: Use rubber mold muffin liners to prevent sticking and allow for easier clean up without waste.
