Ingredients

• 1.5 cups All-purpose flour
• 2 teaspoons Baking powder
• 0.5 teaspoons Salt
• 0.5 teaspoons Garlic powder
• 2 large Eggs
• 1 cup Cottage cheese
• 0.25 cup Whole milk
• 0.25 cup Unsalted butter, melted
• 2 tablespoons Fresh dill, chopped
• 0.5 cup Shredded cheddar cheese (optional)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and grease or line a 12-cup muffin tin with paper liners.

Step 2

In a large mixing bowl, combine the all-purpose flour, baking powder, salt, and garlic powder. Mix well to evenly distribute the dry ingredients.

Step 3

In a separate medium-sized bowl, whisk together the eggs, cottage cheese, milk, and melted butter until smooth.

Step 4

Fold the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients, stirring until just combined. Be careful not to overmix.

Step 5

Gently fold in the chopped dill and shredded cheddar cheese (if using) until evenly distributed.

Step 6

Spoon the batter evenly into the prepared muffin cups, filling each about two-thirds full.

Step 7

Bake in the preheated oven for 18-20 minutes, or until the muffins are golden brown and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.

Step 8

Remove the muffins from the oven and allow them to cool in the pan for 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.

Step 9

Serve warm or at room temperature. These muffins are best enjoyed fresh but can be stored in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 2 days or in the fridge for up to 5 days.
