Ingredients
- 2 cups All-purpose flour
- 2 teaspoons Baking powder
- 1 cup No-sodium-added cottage cheese
- 1 cup Grated low-sodium mozzarella cheese
- 4 tablespoons Unsalted butter
- 1 large Egg
- 1 cup Milk
- 2 tablespoons Fresh chives, chopped
- 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
Directions
Step 1
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and lightly grease a donut pan with unsalted butter or oil spray.
Step 2
In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, garlic powder, and black pepper until well combined.
Step 3
In another bowl, beat the egg and mix in the no-sodium-added cottage cheese, milk, and melted unsalted butter. Stir until the mixture is smooth.
Step 4
Gradually fold the wet mixture into the dry ingredients, stirring until just combined and smooth to avoid overmixing.
Step 5
Add the grated low-sodium mozzarella cheese and chopped chives to the batter, until they are evenly distributed.
Step 6
Spoon the batter into the prepared donut pan, filling each cavity about 3/4 full.
Step 7
Bake in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes, or until the donuts are golden brown and a toothpick inserted into one comes out clean.
Step 8
Remove the donuts from the oven and let them cool in the pan for about 5 minutes, then transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Step 9
Serve warm or at room temperature. Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
