Dietary cottage cheese muffins are a tender and airy dessert perfect for those watching their diet but not wanting to give up pleasure. Their history begins in American cuisine, where muffins gained popularity due to their convenient shape and ease of preparation. In this recipe, the main ingredient is cottage cheese, which gives the baked goods lightness and a pleasant tanginess. Semolina makes the texture soft, while eggs add airiness. If desired, you can enrich the flavor with carrots, giving the muffins a slight sweetness and golden hue. They are perfect for breakfast or a snack and pair well with yogurt, honey, or berries. Baked to a golden crust, they delight with their rich yet delicate taste and make an excellent choice for a healthy diet.
