These High-Protein Cottage Cheese Muffins Are Delicious!

[@BriansRoar]

As a type 1 diabetic, I appreciate your attempts and inspiration for making healthier versions of familiar foods.

[@ketotwins]

Thank you so much

[@SARA0766]

With 2 t2 and 1 t1 diabetic we aren't specifically keto,but we do look for lower carb for many things. This is good

[@lisacee3237]

A little vinegar will also bump up a rise in baked goods. I understand it super charges baking powder. Found this out when I did a search to see if vinegar would kill yeast. FYI, a lot of vinegar will kill yeast but a little enhances the product.

[@kimsquiers7140]

@@lisacee3237 I would opt for lemon in this case - better flavor profile for blueberry muffins. The acidity works just as well.

[@Rana-Kethla]

I've started substituting half my almond flour with (frozen) pulverized (blended) Mozzarella in my baked goods (yeah, just mix it in with the almond flour, no pre-microwave needed). I find it gives the baked goods a more bread-like texture after baking (in cookies, it makes them more crispy, too). I haven't done muffins yet, so I will try and see.

[@ketotwins]

That’s very interesting! We may have to try that sometime! Thanks for sharing 🤗

[@SHSH21356]

So you blend a ball of fresh mozzarella and then freeze it? You thaw it before mixing it in with the almond flour?

[@michellemartinov6267]

I’d imagine you’d have to freeze it then pulverize it. I very much prefer crispy cookies so I’ll definitely give that a try!

[@rhondaduran2651]

Is there a possibility to try this with coconut flour please.😊

[@corneillececil9437]

@@Rana-Kethla thank you for this video and the tips!

[@dorekingham2453]

I would take them out of the muffin silicone after 5 minute cool down on a rack to help dry bottoms

[@cheriedoughan5583]

Should have read your comment first. I didn’t use silicone muffin pan. Let them cool in paper muffin cups. Very wet bottoms and deflated. Tasted good though.

[@michellemartinov6267]

I also love using a blended ricotta (whole milk) in place of cottage cheese in these type of recipes!

[@kittywitty6507]

These were the best blueberry muffins I've ever made. No white flour, no white sugar either.

[@marywiener1059]

I love blueberry muffins with a hint of lemon. May try with some lemon juice!

[@grainiac7824]

Or zest..

[@deebuxton-uo5lt]

Love every video and have learned so much from y’all!!! Thank you for so many great recipes and ideas!!!

[@the-gadgeteer]

I about choked when you said "No one wants a dry muffin" 🤣😂🤣😂🤣

[@ShannonSmith-qj4nb]

I thought Emily was cutting it in half to share, too! 😂 Those muffin cups are so cute! I usually make the All Day I Dream About Food protein muffin recipe.

[@ketotwins]

😂

[@michellemartinov6267]

Yes - between your ladies site and hers, we’re about covered with a lot of great recipes! A couple of other awesome sites are Hungry Elephant and Joe Duff. Also Katherine Michelle has old keto recipes such as her Egg Loaf - only change is that I add couple good squirts of NOW Better Stevia (the only stevia for people who hate stevia lol) of their Maple flavor! When you slice it up and pan fry it up in butter you’d swear it was French toast! I have sugar free honey and it’s the bomb!

[@noreenerickson6809]

Girls, you never cease to amaze me with not only your creativity in the kitchen but the humor you bring to your channel. I so enjoy watching you both. I'm thinking I'm going to try these but substitute the blueberry for fresh cranberry (add lemon zest) for the holiday season. I'll let you know how they turn out. Oh, and Emily I'm eating the whole thing myself. 😋

[@ketotwins]

That sounds delicious!!

[@randyheinsman5007]

I know cottage cheese recipes are super popular right now but I’m curious why sour cream or plain yogurt wouldn’t be an easier options in some of these recipes.

[@JudithMongtomery]

check the protein content of all..

[@CH-yu6so]

Hi all! I just made these…. (And ate 5 lol). Mine didnt taste sweet enough to be called a muffin… tasted more like scones. I put butter on the first 3, then added drizzle of honey on the last 2. Good stuff! Will definitely make again. :). ❤❤❤❤❤ Thanks Keto Twins!

[@almostoily7541]

Traditionally, muffins were more dense. Now, the premade muffins are more like cupcakes. So people are used to those. Also, muffins weren't as sweet as cupcakes traditionally. When I had a home bakery, I would use frozen blueberries. I'd put them on a paper towel and pat them dry. It kept them from making the dough purpley- grey. For us at home, I don't bother with the extra step. We don't care about the color as long as they taste good 😂. I'm definitely going to try these! Also, I've been using Victor's sugar replacement blend from Southern Keto instead of buying Swerve. It's cheaper. You can share that with your viewers. He makes regular, powder and brown sugar replacement.

[@francisbalchak]

victors sugar replacement? did a search, can't find it ... where do you get it?

[@almostoily7541]

@francisbalchak he made a video about how to make your own. The channel is called Southern Keto. Let me see if I can find it and maybe they will let me put it here for you.

[@zandracrisp6438]

Try putting the blueberries in after you put them in the little cups just a thought

[@jackiebombay]

Huh. These look damn tasty. I have blueberries and a craving for muffins. This looks like a win!!

[@erikapoind]

Thank you for the recipe… Going to try the lemon poppyseed idea 💡

[@Angelina_not_Jolie928]

I'm so excited to try these. They looked delish, plus all the protein ! Thanks so much ladies for another wonderful video & recipe !

[@ernajuliannaprimo9745]

Silicone has a tendancy to collect moisture when you take them out of the cups...set them on a paper towel for a couple of minutes....Julianna NC

[@cheronroggen9638]

These blueberry muffins look amazing. I Luke that it kept a nice shape! I am so used to having flat keto muffins 😂. One tip is to leave a tablespoon of blueberries for the top of the muffins to make it even more prettier. 😊

[@ernajuliannaprimo9745]

Hi I have noticed that anytime I bake with silicone its always wet on the bottom I know I may regret it but I have purchased parchment paper liners because I don't like the moisture and I will try these looks great.....Julianna NC....Love the Japan videos my son cant wait to go theree

[@ketotwins]

This is the first time we’ve used silicone liners are I agree, maybe the moisture can’t bake out? At least we know for next time ;)

[@nanchesca3950]

Or take them out of it silicone while they are still hot so the moisture isn't trapped

[@MsDropofrain]

ok, this came just at the right time! I bought some cottage cheese at Walmart and I found it to be extremely runny, so I was wondering what to do with it. thanks for sharing, will be trying tonight with raspberries (that's what I have at home)

[@sueellens]

These look yummy! I’m thinking…raspberry white chocolate 😬

[@ketotwins]

That’s one of our fav combos! Yum!

[@Kro_man_tx]

You can strain the cottage cheese to get a little of the moisture out of the mix.

[@sharonwilson6465]

I have some homegrown blueberries in my freezer that need to be used. I’m definitely going to try this Keto Blueberry muffin recipe.

[@SkullyBooSalem]

This recipe is perfect for me. I've been wanting muffins, but wasn't sure of how to go about making them keto. They also work well for my partner who isn't keto, but does high protein snacks while working. Your channel helped me a lot when I first started keto and I'm happy to discover you're still making videos now that I've come back to keto.

[@lynnedavenport3298]

Get some Gorilla Glue and put a few drops around the handle of your microwave. I had to do that recently and it works like a charm. Also, the muffins look so good!

[@Shari-NevadaPuP]

That didn't work for mine 😕

[@NuttinbutdaBlues]

Try sprinkling some Lakanto Golden Monkfruit granules on the top right when they're done baking for an additional little flavor boost.

[@wendybothma3548]

I’ve always used the flour trick when I’ve baked with fruit. ( non keto ) works!

[@InTheMiddleOfAForest]

Wow! I just made these today😮❤

[@tammyslash7251]

Great recipe. 🎉 Love you both❤

[@edheinlein3747]

Very interesting video!! I wonder how well they would bake up if you were to back them in a cake pan? I'm just lazy and prefer to dump the batter in one pan....

[@ketotwins]

I think it would work, would keep an eye on it for the baking time. Look up “sheet pan muffins”

[@BillB33525]

Serious Eats Muffin Myth-Busting: Tips to keep berries off bottom: Before adding the blueberries to batter, drop a scoop of plain batter into the bottom of each muffin cup, then fold in your berries into the batter and portion out the rest. Keep the batter thick to avoid berries sinking to bottom. Finally, this recipe makes the kitchen smell good.

[@CandysCritters]

Those look great! Thanks.

[@clarewalters5189]

Did you guys work out the macros? I’m going to give these a go 😊

[@urabundant]

I jumped off KETO for a bulk for bodybuildering...I can not stand how I look...back (day 4) and feeling better than ever!!! 💪🏽💪🏽💪🏽💪🏽 Love and appreciate you!!! Let's do this!!

[@tullysoulliere8103]

Hi ladies , these kook fabu! an other thing you can do with berries is coat them as you did and put them on top the uncooked muffins and just tap the top of them lightly with three of your fingers flat. Also if you buy a small cookie scoop at a food service store , the kind that has the little swinging half circle you will get a more consistant fill and muffin or cookie and that makes the actual baking time texture and size consistant. That being said i would load one of those babies up with keto cream cheese frosting and eat it up no matter how many berries or how much moisture it has. Yummmmmm. You two rock, XXXXX , oh and lemon zest in the frosting would be so good too. I need to go get cottage cheese now!!!!

[@diannhazelton9808]

Have you tried any of the big man's world keto recipes he has some with coconut flour that are awesome too. This looks amazing!

[@AccioPadfoot12]

Tee shirt idea: 'Be Something, Please!' 😆

[@ketotwins]

😂💗

[@sallyharris1093]

Looks awesome! I have to substitute coconut flour for the almond due to allergies. And I vaguely remember having to add an egg when doing that. 😁 Can’t wait to try it.

[@bastkitty5724]

careful substituting with coconut flour - it will change the required liquid ratio needed. you could swap out pumpkin seed four instead. or sesame seed flour. those won't effect the liquid ratio. for pumpkin seed flour - its hard to find in that form but if you go to your local mexican store and get pepitas (it's literally pumpkin seeds) you can just grind them up. or.. hey it's almost thanksgiving - save the seeds from your pumpkin .

[@roseannem.tockstein8140]

I have all of the ingredients but need to go somewhere soon, if that were not the case I would be making these right now! Thank you ladies, they look so delicious!

[@shellyrocks211]

❤ yummy!! Making these tonight!!! Ty!!!

[@AccioPadfoot12]

I make something very similar, but I think I'm going to make this and compare, thanks ladies!

[@joane8651]

They look perfect! I don't have protein powder, was wondering if I could use egg white powder instead. Also is the protein powder sweet tasting?

[@ketotwins]

I think you could use any protein powder or more almond flour, the protein powder has monk fruit but it’s a small amount so I don’t think changes the taste much.

[@endiliel]

If you don't coat the blueberries, and just layer them on top of each muffin, they'll sink into the muffins but not all the way to the bottom.

[@katharine_rose]

Oh looks yummy....

The bottom of my microwave handle is broke too 😞 There is no way to fix it. I have just learned to pull from the top. When that decides to break I am not sure what I will do 😕 I don't like blueberry foods. I love blueberry's raw by themselves just not infused in foods, ie pancakes, muffins and the like. That lemon poppy sounds yummy though 😋

Glad we are not alone! at least it’s functional for now 😂, it’s on the list to get fixed
