Ingredients
  

  • 8 oz. cremini mushrooms diced into 1/4 inch pieces
  • 2 tsp. olive oil
  • 1/3 cup cottage cheese
  • 1/4 cup Parmesan cheese
  • 1/4 cup white whole wheat flour see notes
  • 2/3 cup almond flour see notes
  • 1 tsp. baking powder
  • 1 tsp. Spike Seasoning see notes
  • 4 eggs beaten
  • 3 T water
  • 1/2 cup crumbled feta
  • 2 T sliced green onions

Equipment

  • Muffin Tin
  • Mixing Bowls
  • Whisk
  • Spoon or spatula
  • Oven mitts

Method
 

  1. Step 1: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). This ensures that your muffins bake evenly.
  2. Step 2: In a skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the diced cremini mushrooms and sauté for about 5-7 minutes until they're soft and golden. Remove from heat and set aside to cool.
  3. Step 3: In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the white whole wheat flour, almond flour, baking powder, and Spike Seasoning. This will create the base for your muffins.
  4. Step 4: In another bowl, combine the cottage cheese, Parmesan cheese, beaten eggs, and water. Mix until everything is well blended.
  5. Step 5: Pour the wet mixture into the dry ingredients and stir gently with a spatula until just combined. Be careful not to overmix. Then, fold in the sautéed mushrooms, crumbled feta, and sliced green onions.
  6. Step 6: Grease your muffin tin lightly or use muffin liners. Spoon the batter into each muffin cup, filling them about 2/3 full to allow for rising.
  7. Step 7: Place the muffin tin in the preheated oven and bake for 20-25 minutes or until the tops are golden brown and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
  8. Step 8: Once baked, remove the muffins from the oven and let them cool in the pan for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack. Enjoy them warm or at room temperature!

Notes

  • For a gluten-free option, substitute white whole wheat flour with a gluten-free blend.
  • Add fresh herbs like parsley or dill for a flavor boost.
