150 g extra sharp cheddar cheese cubed

150 g carrot peeled, roughly chopped
250 g cottage cheese
50 g milk of choice
60 g olive oil or 100 g melted butter

Instructions

Preheat your fan-forced oven to 180°C or 355°F and pan fry your bacon until crispy.
Add cheese to mixer bowl and chop for 3 sec/speed 6/MC on. Set aside.
Add zucchini and carrot to mixer bowl. Chop for 3 sec/speed 7/MC on. Scrape down.
Add cottage cheese, milk, oil, eggs, spices and salt. Mix for 15 sec/speed 8/MC on. Scrape down.
Add flour and baking powder. Mix for 4 sec/speed 4/MC on. Scrape mixer bowl down.
Add bacon, cheese and combine for 10 sec/speed 2/MC on - stir through with spatula further if needed.
Divide your batter evenly between 12 muffin cases, sprinkle with optional extra cheese on each muffin and bake in the oven for 20 – 30 min until a skewer comes out clean. Note - The batter will be thick.
Once cooked, remove to a cooling rack and allow to cool. Store in the fridge for up to 5 days or freeze. Reheat in the microwave briefly for a warm, moist muffin!

Notes

Gluten-free: We use Orgran Gluten Free Self-Raising flour in the Skinnymixers Kitchen, although this is a very forgiving recipe and you should be able to use any of the flour brands. If you find it too hard to stir through the bacon and cheese, simply add a dash more milk to help loosen the mixture. It is a very thick mixture.
