Yes you can enjoy cheesy Italian flavors in a convenient Savory Bakery style muffin they’re made gluten-free with almond and cassava flour and perfectly seasoned with garlic onion paprika and Italian spices hello there my name is Nicole Bonia and I am so glad you’re here if you like healthier allnatural recipes like I do then you are in the.
Right place to make these muffins we’re going to start by toasting some pine nuts we’re going to add 1 teaspoon of butter to a frying pan over medium heat and then we’ll just stir that around and let that melt next I’m going to add about4 a cup of pine nuts and a few pinches of salt then we’ll stir the nuts so they all get.
Coated in the butter and you’ll want to keep them moving so that they toast evenly now that they’ve reached this beautiful golden brown we can turn off our heat and then transfer them back into our bowl and then we can set these aside to make our very simple muffin batter we’re going to start by adding our wet ingredients to a large mixing.
Bowl so I’m going to start with four eggs half a cup of milk and for added moisture creaminess and cheese flavor we’re going to add some cottage cheese and a really great hack for removing that curdle texture is to take your whole container of cottage cheese put it into a blender or food processor and blend it until smooth and then I pour it.
Back into my container and then keep this in my fridge and then it’s ready to go whenever I need it so we’re going to add a/ thir a cup of our Blended cottage cheese but you could also use sour cream or ricotta cheese and a four a cup of avocado oil you could also use light olive oil and 3/4 of a cup of feted cheese and 1/4 a cup of grated Parmesan.
Cheese and then we’ll whisk these together until combined next we can add our dry ingredients which includes 1 and 1/2 cups of almond flour half a cup of cassava flour and this is different than tapioca flour and this just makes the muffins really light and fluffy and adds elasticity and then we’re going to add 2 teaspoons of baking powder a/4 a.
Teaspoon of baking soda and half a teaspoon of salt and then for our delicious Savory seasonings we’re going to add 2 tpoon of Italian seasoning 2 TPO of garlic powder 1 taspo of paprika and 1 teaspoon of onion powder and then I’ll whisk these together until combined now we want to add 8 oz of cooked spinach or you can buy frozen spinach.
And let it thaw which is the more convenient option so I just took an 8 oz box of frozen spinach allowed it to thaw on my counter and then we need to drain out all the excess liquid so we’ll go ahead and cut open this bag and pour it into the simple strainer and then I’ll just use my spatula and press out the extra water now the.
Spinach may not look very appetizing but I promise it’s going to take tastes delicious in these muffins and we get to have those added health benefits so then we can add this right into our muffin batter and then for even more flavor and beautiful color we’re going to add a four a cup of sundried tomatoes and I’ve already chopped them into the nice.
Little bite-sized pieces so I’m going go ahead and add these right into the batter but I am going to hold out a few because I want to sprinkle some of them on top of the muffins then we’ll just stir all this together with a spatula that smells so good to bake the muffins I’ve just lined my muffin tray with some parchment paper liners because then I.
Don’t have to spray them with oil to get the muffins to come out easily you can also use paper liners but you will want to spray them with some non-stick first and then I’m just going to use my thir cup batter scoop and scoop the muffin batter right into each of the cups and you will want to allow it to Mound up a little bit higher in the middle now that.
We filled all our muffin cups you can either bake them as is or we can add a few more garnishes to make them even more beautiful I’m going to start by sprinkling on some more parmesan cheese and then I’ll spread on on a few more of our sundried tomatoes and then we can add some of our toasted pine nuts well these look amazing and they are ready to.
Go into our oven now a really simple hack for getting a higher Dome on your muffin is to give it an initial heat burst so we’re going to put them into a 425° oven set the timer for 5 minutes and when the timer goes off we’re going to leave the muffins in the oven adjust the temperature to 350° and then set our timer for another.
17 to 22 minutes or until the muffins are lightly golden brown on the top and a toothpick comes out clean well here are our muffins after they baked in the oven you can see how they’re perfectly lightly golden on top and I wish you could smell my kitchen right now because it smells like an Italian restaurant and I cannot wait to try these oo just light.
And spongy with melty cheese inside that is so good that is a burst of cheesy Italian flavor I love the light spongy texture of the muffin but then it’s just super moist from getting that cottage cheese as well as the feted cheese and the seasonings add tons of flavor without being overpowering and I love that it’s made with clean natural.
