  • Total Time: 35 minutes
  • Yield: 12 muffins 1x

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup cooked shredded chicken
  • 1 cup grated zucchini (squeezed dry)
  • 3 large eggs
  • 1/2 cup cottage cheese
  • 1/2 cup shredded cheddar cheese
  • 1/4 cup almond flour
  • 1/2 tsp garlic powder
  • 1/2 tsp onion powder
  • 1/4 tsp salt
  • Black pepper to taste

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C). Grease or line a muffin tin with paper liners.
  2. Squeeze excess moisture from the grated zucchini using a clean towel to avoid soggy muffins.
  3. In a medium bowl, whisk together the eggs and cottage cheese until mostly smooth.
  4. Add the shredded chicken, grated zucchini, cheddar cheese, almond flour, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and black pepper. Mix until well combined.
  5. Divide the mixture evenly into the muffin cups, filling each about 3/4 full.
  6. Bake for 20–25 minutes, or until the muffins are set and lightly golden on top.
  7. Let cool for a few minutes before removing from the pan.
