SUN-DRIED TOMATO AND COTTAGE CHEESE MUFFINS (VEGETARIAN)



Sun-Dried Tomato and Cottage Cheese Muffins (Vegetarian) image

From *Vegetarian Supercook* by Rose Elliot ("an accomplished UK-based cookbook author who focuses on vegetarian recipes") comes this unique & tempting muffin recipe. The intro contained a wealth of info: "Not only does their cottage cheese & grd almond base make them a smarter way to start the day, but the combo of tomatoes, cheese & basil baking in a hot oven makes your kitchen smell like a pizzeria. The texture here isn't attempting to emulate traditional flour-based muffins. These are much moister, less bready & more quiche-like." *Enjoy* !

  • If you don't have buttermilk, you can make your own by adding 1 tablespoon of lemon juice or vinegar to 1 cup of milk and letting it sit for 5 minutes.
  • Gently fold the dry ingredients into the wet ingredients until just combined. Overmixing will result in tough muffins.
  • For a crispy muffin top, sprinkle the tops with sugar before baking.
  • Muffins are done baking when a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
