LOW-FAT COTTAGE CHEESE:

CARROTS:

EGGS:

  • Protein will come in your muffins from including eggs. Eggs will be useful in combining all the components. Utilize flax eggs for an alternative option.

UNSWEETENED APPLESAUCE:

VANILLA EXTRACT:

MAPLE SYRUP:

  • Use maple syrup in your muffins to make them sweeter and taste better. A zero-calorie sweetener is another alternative option for you.

WALNUTS:
