Step-by-Step Instructions

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and grease a muffin tin.
In a mixing bowl, whisk the eggs until pale, then mix in the cottage cheese until smooth.
Stir in almond flour, vanilla extract, baking powder, cinnamon, and sweetener if desired.
Gently fold in diced strawberries, being careful not to overmix.
Pour the batter into the greased muffin tin, filling each cup about two-thirds full.

Let the muffins cool in the tin for about 5 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack.
