Calories: 251 | Protein: 15.1g | Fat: 13.1g | Carbs: 4.5g | Fiber: 1.6g | Sugar: 4g
Ingredients:
1 pound lean ground beef, 454g
½ cup onions, chopped, 80g
4 eggs, 200g
1 tbsp olive oil, 14g
¼ cup milk, any unsweetened milk (I use soy), 60g
1 cup cottage cheese (I used 2% lactose free), 226g
1 ½ cups almond flour, 144g (or oat flour or 1 ¼ cup all-purpose flour or whole wheat)
2 tbsp ground flax, 14g (optional)
2 tsp baking powder, 10g
½ tsp garlic powder, 1.5g
1 tsp salt, 6g
1/2 tsp pepper, 1g
2 tbsp mayonnaise, any, 28g (I used olive oil mayonnaise)
2 tbsp ketchup, any, 30g (sugar free will work or omit)
1 tbsp yellow mustard, 15g (whatever mustard you like or omit)
¼ cup pickles, chopped, 40g (omit if you don’t love pickles or add more)
1 cup cheddar cheese, grated, 113g (any cheese you love)
Preheat your oven to 400F. Line a 12-cavity muffin tin with 12 silicone liners if you have them or ensure your metal pans are well greased.
On medium to high heat, cook onions in olive oil for 3-4 minutes then add ground beef, season with salt and pepper to taste. Cook until the meat is just cooked through, it will continue to cook in the oven. Drain any liquid from the pan, transfer meat mixture to a separate bowl and add your mayonnaise, ketchup, mustard, pickles and set aside.
To a large mixing bowl, whisk together eggs, cottage cheese, milk, garlic powder, baking powder, salt and pepper Then add your flax, almond flour, Mix until just combined. Add 2/3 of the grated cheddar, leave the other 1/3 to top each muffin. Add the meat mixture and mix until just incorporated. Add whatever add-in’s you love on your cheeseburger or leave as is.
Divide batter evenly between 12 muffin cavities, you can add right to the top of the liners. Top with additional cheese and bake for 23-27 minutes until toothpick comes out clean
NOTE: you can add your favorite cheeseburger condiments if what I used isn’t what you love.
ADD-IN’S: What do you love on your cheeseburger? Add up to one cup of your favorite toppings, sauteed mushrooms, crispy bacon, roasted peppers, banana peppers, jalapenos, tomatoes, spinach, etc.
Store in the fridge: Allow them to cool and refrigerate up to 4 days or freeze up to 3 months.

Yum. Great recipe. Thanks.
Could substitute ground up low carb bread for the almond or oat flour? And I would make mine bacon bar-b-q sauce and cheddar. And I would also consider making a separate burger/Big Mac sauce to dip.
I am such a fan of your recipes, so creative.
can you taste the cottage cheeze in these done muffins?
Have to get some cottage cheese to make these but I would also add pickles and bacon
