Print Recipe
Servings 12 muffins

Ingredients
  

  • 2/3 cup cottage cheese
  • 1/4 cup grated Parmesan
  • 1 cup almond flour
  • 1 tbsp coconut flour
  • 1 tsp baking powder
  • 1/4 tsp salt
  • 4 large eggs (beaten well)
  • 3 tbsp water
  • 1/4 cup finely diced fresh ham (low sodium if using deli ham)
  • 1/2 cup sharp cheddar
  • 2 tbsp sliced green onions

Instructions
 

  • Preheat oven to 375 Fahrenheit (190 Celsius).
  • Dice the ham into small 1/4inch pieces
  • Dice the green onions into 1/8in pieces
  • Shred the cheese using a medium shred size
  • In a large mixing bowl add your cottage cheese, Parmesan, almond meal, baking powder, salt, eggs, and water.
  • Using a fork, mix these ingredients for several minutes. Or you can blend them for about a minute with a hand mixer on low. Don’t over beat these ingredients!
  • Add the other ingredients (ham, onions, and cheese) into this mixture and fold them together well without over mixing.
  • Lightly oil muffin pan or line with paper muffin cups
  • Place about 1/4 cup of the mix into each of the 12 muffin cups so that it is divided evenly.
  • Bake for 30-35 minutes until lightly browned on top. They’ll be a bit moist inside, this is fine.
  • Remove the muffin pan from the oven and place it on a cooling rack for 5 minutes to let the edges continue to cook.
  • Remove muffins from the muffin pan and enjoy right away or let them rest on the cooling rack until they are room temperature.

Notes

  • Storage Tips:
    • Cool the muffins completely before placing them in the refrigerator to avoid condensation, which can make them soggy.
    • Use a resealable bag or airtight container to prevent them from drying out.
  • Reheating Recommendations:
    • Warm them in the microwave for 15–20 seconds or in a low oven (around 300°F/150°C) for 5–10 minutes to refresh their texture.
If you'd like to keep them longer, consider freezing. Muffins freeze well and can last up to 3 months in the freezer. Let me know if you need tips for freezing and reheating!
