Ingredients:

Dry Garlic: ½ tsp (1g)

Italian Herbs: 1 tsp (2g)

Cottage Cheese: 1 cup (240g)

Mozzarella Cheese (shredded): ½ cup (50g)

Eggs: 3 pcs

Avocado Oil: 2 tbsp (30ml)

For Topping:

Arugula: ½ cup (15g), chopped

Green Onions: 2-3 stalks, chopped

Little Tomatoes: ½ cup (75g), diced

Parmesan Cheese (shredded): ¼ cup (25g)

Mozzarella Cheese (shredded): ¼ cup (25g)

Additional Italian Herbs for Topping: ½ tsp (1g)

Instructions

1. Prepare the Dry Ingredients

In a large mixing bowl, combine the oatmeal, salt, dry garlic, and Italian herbs. Mix well to ensure the dry ingredients are evenly distributed.

2. Combine Wet Ingredients

In another bowl, mix the cottage cheese, shredded mozzarella cheese, and eggs until well combined. Ensure the mixture is smooth and homogenous.

3. Mix Together

Add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients and mix until thoroughly combined. The batter should be well mixed with no dry spots.

4. Prepare the Muffin Tins

Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 180°C (360°F).
Grease the Muffin Tin: Grease a muffin tin with avocado oil to prevent sticking and ensure easy removal of the muffins.

5. Fill the Muffin Tins

Divide the batter evenly among the muffin tin cups. Fill each cup about three-quarters full to allow room for the muffins to rise.

6. Add the Toppings

Evenly distribute the chopped arugula, green onions, and diced little tomatoes over the batter in each muffin cup. Sprinkle the tops with shredded Parmesan cheese, mozzarella cheese, and a pinch of additional Italian herbs for extra flavor.

7. Bake

Bake the Muffins: Place the muffin tin in the preheated oven and bake for about 30 minutes, or until the muffins are golden brown and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.

Cool the Muffins: Allow the muffins to cool in the tin for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.

Serving Suggestions

These savory oatmeal muffins are perfect for breakfast, a snack, or a light meal. They pair wonderfully with a fresh salad or a bowl of soup. Serve them warm or at room temperature for the best taste and texture.
