These corn muffins are so easy to make. The secret ingredient is cottage cheese — it ups the protein content and makes them moist and quite delicious. You can throw some together for breakfast...

1 cup yellow stone ground cornmeal
¼ cup sugar
2½ teaspoons baking powder
¼ teaspoon baking soda
½ teaspoon salt
1 cup cottage cheese
¼ cup milk
¼ cup melted butter
2 tablespoons olive oil

Directions

Preheat the oven to 400 degrees. Line a muffin pan with paper muffin cups. Set aside.
In a large bowl whisk together the whole-wheat pastry flour, cornmeal, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
In a small bowl, blend the cottage cheese, milk, butter, olive oil, whole egg, and egg yolk together.
Stir the cottage cheese mixture and corn kernels to the dry ingredient, mix with a wooden spoon just until all the flour has been absorbed. The mixture will be thick, almost like a cookie batter.
Spoon the dough into the prepared muffin molds. Bake for 15 to 18 minutes, or until the tops are lightly golden brown. Let cook in the pan for 5 minutes then transfer the muffins to a wire rack.

Chef Tips

You can substitute whole-wheat pastry flour with half all-purpose flour and half whole-wheat flour.
