Step-by-Step Instructions

Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C) and grease a muffin tin.
Mix together cottage cheese, eggs, and olive oil in a bowl until smooth.
In another bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, black pepper, and garlic powder.
Combine the wet and dry mixtures without overmixing; batter should be slightly lumpy.
Fold in optional fresh herbs and shredded cheese.
Fill each muffin cup about ¾ full with the batter.
Bake for 25-30 minutes or until golden and a toothpick comes out clean.
Let cool for 5 minutes, then remove from the tin and serve warm.
