Delicious protein packed, gluten-free, savory cheddar & broccoli muffins!
Recipe adapted from “Savory Cottage Cheese Muffins” by “Hey Nutrition Lady” – Amounts edited to make 6 muffins – as I like to bake them in my counter-top oven and use my smaller 6-cup muffin tin. I also added some seasonings. You can double the recipe for a larger 12-cup muffin tin to bake in your standard sized oven.

Hi Tina,
Love watching you on QVC! What would the measurements be if I want to make this recipe using ricotta cheese instead of cottage and all purpose flour instead of chickpea and almond flours?? Thank you!
Hi Karen – Thanks for reaching out! I haven’t tried with those substitutions yet. This is the original recipe (I changed the measurements to make 6 muffins and added some additional seasonings) but If I recall there were some comments on her recipe that talked about all-purpose flour and ricotta. Hopefully they could be helpful for you.
Thank you Tina for all the recipes. I love everything you cook on QVC.
Thanks so much Gail!
