If desired, you can add washed and pre-steamed raisins, chopped dried apricots, prunes or finely chopped walnuts to the dough. If you add a tablespoon of sifted cocoa powder to the dough, you will get chocolate muffins. Try it, it's really very fast and tasty!

Ingredients:

premium wheat flour 150 g

granulated sugar 150 g

cottage cheese with a fat content of at least 9% (preferably homemade) 130 g

traditional butter 82% fat 70 g

chicken eggs 2 pcs.

baking powder for dough 0.5 tsp.

powdered sugar for sprinkling 1 tbsp. l.

Number of servings: 6 Cooking time: 60 minutes

Recipe

Step 1: Mix and beat butter and sugar

The butter for this recipe must first be removed from the refrigerator so that it melts and becomes soft. As a last resort, you can warm it up a little in the microwave at minimum power. Make sure that the butter does not melt completely, but only softens a little. In a deep bowl or bowl, mix softened butter and granulated sugar.

Using a mixer, beat the mixture as required by the recipe. There is no need to beat the mixture for too long; one minute will be enough for the ingredients to mix.

Step 2: Add cottage cheese and eggs to the whipped mixture

Add two chicken eggs to the resulting mass. It is advisable for chicken eggs to be at room temperature. Therefore, it is better to take them out of the refrigerator in advance or put them in a bowl with warm, but not hot, water for 5-10 minutes so that they warm up a little.

Now, according to the recipe, add fat cottage cheese to the mixture of butter, sugar and eggs. The fattier the cottage cheese, the tastier the cottage cheese muffins will be, so don’t be lazy to find a fattier product.

Step 3: Add baking powder

To ensure that our muffins with cottage cheese rise well and increase in volume during baking, add a little baking powder to the dough, as indicated in the recipe. To make the dough without lumps, sift the baking powder through a sieve.

Step 4: Add sifted wheat flour

Following the baking powder, add wheat flour into the dough. We will also first sift it through a sieve with fine holes. Thanks to this, the dough will be saturated with oxygen and will turn out homogeneous and airy. For this recipe, wheat flour can be added in one step.

If desired, at this stage of preparing cottage cheese cupcakes, you can add a pinch of vanillin or a couple of drops of vanilla extract to the dough. Vanilla will make cottage cheese muffins even more flavorful. For the same purpose, you can add lemon or orange zest and a pinch of ground cinnamon to the dough.

Step 5: Beat the dough until smooth

Now thoroughly mix all the ingredients for the muffins with cottage cheese using a silicone spatula. When the flour combines with the liquid ingredients and the dough becomes homogeneous, beat it a little with a mixer so that it becomes airier and more tender. Please note that the dough for this recipe should be quite thick and flexible.

Step 6: Prepare molds for baking cottage cheese muffins

To bake the curd cupcakes, I used small silicone molds. They are very easy to use. These molds do not need to be pre-greased with butter; they are easy to wash and store, as they do not take up much space. In addition, baked goods burn and are easily separated from silicone molds. If desired, you can insert paper baskets into them to make the muffins convenient to take with you. If you do not use silicone molds, but ceramic or metal ones, be sure to grease them with butter so that the baked goods do not burn and easily separate from the mold.

Step 7: Pour the dough into silicone molds

Using a tablespoon, distribute the dough into the molds, filling them two-thirds full. There is no need to fill them completely, as the dough will rise while baking in the oven. From the amount of ingredients indicated in the recipe, I got 12 delicious cottage cheese muffins.

Step 8: Bake cottage cheese cupcakes in the oven

Place our muffins in a preheated oven for 30-40 minutes. Cooking time directly depends on the features of your oven. The oven temperature should be 180 degrees, as required by the recipe. The finished muffins should be golden on top and completely baked inside. The readiness of the products must be checked with a toothpick or wooden skewer. Stick it into the center of the cupcake. If the toothpick comes out completely dry and there are no traces of raw dough on it, then the cupcakes can be removed from the oven.

Carefully remove the finished cakes from the molds and cool completely at room temperature, placing the cupcakes on a wire rack.

Step 9: Submission

Sprinkle the cooled baked goods with powdered sugar using a fine-hole strainer. If desired, the muffins can be topped with butter or marshmallow cream, chocolate melted with butter or sugar icing. On top of the baked goods you can decorate with coconut shavings or grated chocolate, fresh berries, pieces of fruit, and confectionery sprinkles. We will serve the baked goods with your favorite drinks: fruit juice, milk, compote, hot cocoa, green tea or fresh aromatic coffee. Muffins made from this simple and quick recipe are ideal for breakfast, because they are not only tasty, but also healthy. Ready-made baked goods are stored well and remain fresh for a long time.

Ingredient Selection

To make our muffins I use low-fat cottage cheese to reduce calories. And it turns out very tasty. But you can also use fatty cottage cheese. If you have no choice, take the one you have on hand. The eggs for the dough must be fresh. We will only use yolks. We also need dried apricots and raisins.

Don't buy smooth raisins with an attractive golden color, they are most likely treated with sulfur.

Light raisins, when dried naturally, should turn brown or light brown, while dark raisins should turn blue-black. It should be wrinkled and have a matte finish. “Proper dried apricots,” which have not been chemically processed, should also not be radiant orange. Choose dried apricots dark orange or Brown with a grayish tint. It should also be wrinkled, somewhat stiff, and not soft or sticky to the touch. Make sure all foods are at room temperature.
