Ingredients (My Favorite Brands)

• Dry ingredients

  • 1.5 cups gluten-free flour

  • 2 teaspoons baking powder

  • 1/2 teaspoon salt

• Wet ingredients

  • 4 eggs

  • 1 cup cottage cheese

  • 1/4 cup milk or half and half

  • 1 tablespoon garlic-infused olive oil

• Mix-ins

  • 4-5 slices of sugar-free bacon

  • 1 cup grated cheddar cheese

  • 1/4 cup fresh chives, finely chopped

Instructions

• Cut the bacon into bite-sized pieces and cook in a pan over medium heat until crispy. Remove to a paper towel-lined plate.

• Preheat oven to 400° F. Spray muffin pan with nonstick spray or use muffin cup liners.

• In a medium bowl, combine the flour, baking powder, and salt.

• In a blender or mixer, combine the eggs, cottage cheese, milk, and garlic-infused olive oil. Blend until smooth.

• Mix the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients. Add the chives, bacon, and half of the cheese. Stir to combine.

• Evenly distribute the batter between 12 muffin cups (roughly 1/4 cup per cavity). Sprinkle the remaining cheese on top.

• Bake for roughly 25 minutes until the muffins are set.

Fine with Fructose?

• I based this recipe on recipes from Nourished by Nic and Bites with Bri. Check out the originals if you tolerate gluten and fructose!

Other Modifications

• You can easily add your favorite veggies to this mix, or swap out the bacon for sausage or another protein.
