Ingredients
- 1 cup oatmeal
- 1 tsp salt
- 1 tsp dry garlic
- 1 tsp Italian herbs
- 1 cup non-fat cottage cheese
- ½ cup non-fat mozzarella cheese
- 3 eggs
- 1 tbsp avocado oil
- 1 cup arugula, chopped
- 2 green onions, finely chopped
- ½ cup small tomatoes, halved
Step-by-Step Cooking Directions
1. Preheat the Oven:
- Preheat the oven to 180°C (350°F). Grease or line a muffin tin with muffin liners to prevent sticking.
2. Prepare the Dry Ingredients:
- In a large bowl, combine 1 cup of oatmeal, 1 tsp of salt, 1 tsp of dry garlic, and 1 tsp of Italian herbs. Mix well to combine.
3. Add the Wet Ingredients:
- Add 1 cup of cottage cheese, ½ cup of mozzarella cheese, and 3 eggs to the dry ingredients. Stir until the mixture is well combined.
- Pour in 1 tablespoon of avocado oil and mix again to incorporate.
4. Add the Fresh Vegetables:
- Stir in 1 cup of chopped arugula, 2 finely chopped green onions, and ½ cup of halved small tomatoes. Mix everything together until the vegetables are evenly distributed throughout the mixture.
5. Fill the Muffin Tin:
- Scoop the muffin mixture evenly into the prepared muffin tin, filling each cup about ¾ full. Sprinkle extra Italian herbs on top of each muffin for added flavor and aroma.
6. Bake:
- Place the muffin tin in the preheated oven and bake for 20 minutes, or until the muffins are golden brown on top and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
8. Cool and Serve: Allow the muffins to cool in the tin for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely. Serve warm and enjoy!
