Instructions
Step 1
In a mixing bowl, combine the eggs.
Add the cottage cheese to the bowl. For a smoother batter, you can strain the cottage cheese through a sieve if it is grainy.
Next, mix in the sour cream, melted butter, and sugar. Stir gently until just combined.
Step 2
Carefully add the sifted flour and baking powder into the wet mixture.
Fold the ingredients together gently without overmixing to maintain the fluffiness of the batter. You can also add dried fruits, nuts, or candied fruits at this stage if desired.
Step 3
Line a muffin tin with baking cups and fill each cup with the batter until it is about two-thirds full. This allows enough space for the muffins to rise during baking.
Step 4
Preheat your oven to 180°C (350°F). Bake the muffins for approximately 40 minutes, keeping in mind that baking times may vary depending on your oven.
The muffins should achieve a lovely golden color; be sure to avoid removing them from the oven if they appear too light.
Step 5
Once the muffins have cooled slightly, you can sprinkle them with powdered sugar or decorate with frosting as you prefer.
Enjoy your delightful cottage cheese muffins with a cup of tea!

Equipment
A sturdy mixing bowl is essential for combining your ingredients. Choose one that’s large enough so you won’t spill when mixing.



A whisk helps incorporate air into your batter for fluffy muffins. A hand whisk will do, but a stand mixer can save you time!



Using muffin cups makes for easy removal and clean-up. Opt for silicone or paper liners depending on your preference!
Ensure your oven is preheated to 180°C (350°F) for the best results. An oven thermometer can help you check if it’s at the right temperature.



Variations
If you'd like to customize your curd muffins, have fun with these ideas! For a **gluten-free version**, simply use a 1:1 gluten-free flour blend, and your muffins will still be just as light and fluffy. 🥳✨
If vegan is more your style, swap out the eggs for **flax eggs** (1 tablespoon of ground flaxseed mixed with 2.5 tablespoons of water per egg) and use plant-based yogurt in place of sour cream. Your friends will never know they're missing the dairy!
