Ingredients

Sugar - 5.3 oz
Chicken Egg - 1 piece
Wheat Flour - 7.1 oz

Step by Step guide

Step 1

Chop the dried apricots with sugar and cottage cheese in a blender until a paste-like consistency is achieved.

Step 2

Beat the egg with sugar until it doubles in volume. Gently pour in the melted butter.

Step 3

Mix the flour, baking powder, cocoa, and a pinch of salt. While continuing to beat, gradually add part of the flour mixture. Pour in part of the kefir. Alternately adding kefir and flour, knead the dough.

Step 4

Grease the mold with butter. Place a tablespoon of dough into each cavity. Add a teaspoon of the cottage cheese mixture in the center of each. Pour the remaining dough over the top.

Step 5

Bake in a preheated oven at 356°F for about 25–30 minutes. Check for doneness by inserting a toothpick or match into the muffin.

Step 6

Remove from the mold and cool on a clean towel, covering with another towel on top. Optionally, top with chocolate glaze or sprinkle with powdered sugar.
