16 mini-muffins

For a healthier and heartier version of the typical cornbread muffin, you’ll want to try these spicy cheddar cornbread muffins. Made with coconut flour instead of cornmeal and Swerve (a natural sweetener that measures cup-for-cup like sugar) in place of regular sugar (though you can use regular sugar if preferred), these muffins are perfect for breakfast or a snack. Chili powder, extra sharp cheddar, green onions, and chipotle peppers add delicious flavor. Feel free to share the recipe with friends and family on Facebook, Pinterest, Instagram, and Twitter.


For 16 mini muffins, you’ll need to gather the following ingredients: coconut flour, Swerve (or sugar, if preferred), baking powder, kosher salt, chili powder, eggs, milk, canola oil, Cabot Cottage Cheese, Cabot Extra Sharp Cheddar (grated), green onions (chopped), and canned chipotle peppers (chopped).


Preheat oven to 325°F and coat a mini muffin tin with cooking spray. Whisk together dry ingredients in a medium-size bowl and combine wet ingredients in a separate bowl, as directed below. Add wet ingredients to dry ingredients and stir until well combined.


Stir in cheese, green onions, and chipotle peppers. Divide batter evenly among the 16 muffin cups and bake for about 25 minutes.
