INGREDIENT NOTES AND THEIR KETO SUBSTITUTIONS:

COTTAGE CHEESE:

  • Cottage cheese will give a moisture content and silky texture to these muffins. As a replacement, you can use strained Greek yogurt, high-fat ricotta cheese, or cream cheese.

ZUCCHINI:

  • You can use zucchini to deliver a structure and fiber content. As an alternative, we can use finely chopped broccoli, spinach, or grated cabbage.

ALMOND FLOUR:

  • We utilize almond flour, as it will give a texture and nutty flavor. Alternatively, you might use flaxseed meal or crushed pork rinds.

COCONUT FLOUR:

  • Utilize coconut flour, which will deliver a moisture content and combine the elements. We can also use oat fiber, psyllium husk powder, or extra almond flour.

MOZZARELLA CHEESE:

  • You may utilize mozzarella cheese to maintain the texture of the muffins. It also gives a mild flavor and flexible texture. You can also use Monterey Jack, cheddar cheese, or Parmesan cheese.
