Cottage Cheese Zucchini Muffins

• • Zucchini Prep: Do not skip squeezing the zucchini! Excess water is the enemy of muffin texture.

• • Cheese Choices: Swap cheddar for Gruyère, Gouda, or feta for a different flavor profile.

  • Add-Ins: Feel free to fold in 1/4 cup of cooked, crumbled bacon, diced ham, or sun-dried tomatoes for extra heartiness.

  • Herb Flexibility: No chives? Use scallions, parsley, or 1 tsp of dried Italian seasoning.

• Gluten-Free Option: Substitute the all-purpose flour with a 1:1 gluten-free baking blend.
