1/4 cup olive oil (60g)

1/2-1 tsp salt

1/4-1/2 tsp pepper

4 eggs

1/4 cup milk, (60 g) (soy or dairy)

1 cup cottage cheese (225g) (I used 2% lactose-free)

½ lemon, juiced (2 tbsp)

1.5 cups almond flour (150g) (or oat flour, you can substitute with AP or whole wheat, use 1 1/4 cup)

2 teaspoon baking powder

1 tsp garlic powder

1/3-1/2 cup chopped parsley (10-20 g)

1/2-3/4 cup parmesan cheese, grated (40-60 g)

Directions:

Preheat your oven to 400F. You will need a 12-cavity muffin tray. Use silicone liners if you have them or ensure your metal pan are well greased.
Add your olive oil to a medium sized sauté pan or Dutch Oven. Cook onions on medium heat for about 3-4 min until it is lightly browned, add your broccoli and cook for 2 min, season with salt and pepper to taste. Stir in your salmon (break it up). Turn off the heat and squeeze in half a lemon. Stir, then set aside.
To a large mixing bowl, whisk together eggs, milk, cottage cheese. Then add your garlic powder, baking powder and salt. Mix well. Add your Parmesan and parsley, mix through. Add your flour, mix until incorporated. Add you sauteed onion, broccoli, salmon mixture. Mix until just incorporated. Don’t over mix.
