Today, I will guide you step by step in making delicious cottage cheese muffins that will instantly satisfy the sweet cravings of your loved ones. This quick recipe is perfect for evenings when you need a simple and tasty dessert.

Ingredients:
- 250 g cottage cheese
- 4 heaping tablespoons of coconut
- 2 eggs
- 7 tablespoons of sugar
- 2 tablespoons of cocoa
- a pinch of baking powder
- a pinch of salt
- 250-300 ml yogurt
- 2 tablespoons of oil
- 1 tablespoon of starch
- flour – as needed (approximately 150-200 g)

Instructions:

1. Preparing the ingredients: Start by gathering all the necessary ingredients. Make sure the cottage cheese is well-drained and that all the other ingredients are at room temperature for the best results.

2. Mixing the cheese: In a large bowl, combine the cottage cheese with the 4 tablespoons of coconut, 1 egg, 1 tablespoon of starch, and 2 tablespoons of sugar. Mix well until you get a homogeneous mixture. If you prefer sweeter muffins, you can adjust the amount of sugar to taste.

3. Preparing the dough: In another bowl, mix the yogurt, the other eggs, 5 tablespoons of sugar, the oil, baking powder, cocoa, and salt. Gradually incorporate the flour until you obtain a batter with the consistency of thick sour cream, similar to that of a pound cake. It is important not to add all the flour at once; adjust gradually until you achieve the desired consistency.

4. Assembling the muffins: Grease the muffin molds with butter and dust with flour to prevent sticking. Form balls from the cottage cheese mixture and place them at the bottom of each mold. Use a spoon to distribute the cocoa batter over the cheese balls, leaving about 1 cm of height for the muffins to rise during baking.

5. Baking: Preheat the oven to 180°C (medium heat). Place the muffin molds in the oven and let them bake for 20-25 minutes. You can check if they are done using a skewer; if it comes out clean, the muffins are perfect.

6. Cooling and serving: Once baked, remove the muffins from the oven and let them cool in the molds for 5-10 minutes, then transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely. These cottage cheese muffins are excellent both warm and cold. You can serve them with a drizzle of honey or jam for added flavor.

Variation suggestion: You can also add chocolate chips or candied fruits to the batter to bring a note of freshness and flavor. Additionally, you can replace the coconut with ground almonds for a different aroma.

These cottage cheese muffins are ideal for breakfast or as a delicious snack. With a quick preparation time, they are a perfect choice to satisfy your sweet tooth when you have less time available. Enjoy them with your loved ones and savor every bite!
