If you're looking for some easy healthy breakfast ideas, these Cottage Cheese Muffins will not disappoint! These healthy breakfast muffins have delicious and fun flavor that also makes them great as breakfast muffins for kids.

While some muffin recipes get their moisture content from buttermilk, cream cheese or sour cream, this easy muffin recipe gets its moist and spongy texture from a generous helping of cottage cheese. Depending on your own personal preference, you can use regular, lowfat or nonfat cottage cheese, all of which will produce a wonderful result, only with different fat content. If you enjoy healthy muffin recipes, you likely are already aware of the healthy beneits and added flavor derived from using whole wheat flour. This muffin recipe calls for 100% all-purpose flour, because all-purpose flour tends to produce a lighter cake, which helps to counter the heaviness of the cottage cheese. However, some might prefer a more hearty muffin, in which case substituting some whole wheat flour would be beneficial. If you'd like to make these muffins with some whole wheat flour, you can substitute any amount of whole wheat flour for the all-purpose flour, keeping in mind that the more whole wheat flour you use, the heavier and heartier muffin you will produce. So, if you prefer a lighter and more fluffy muffin with a modest amount of whole wheat flour, you might want to try substituting about 1/4 cup of whole wheat flour for the all-purpose flour. These muffins are great served warm with butter!
