But if you want or need to eat healthier, these low-fat, low-carb, sugarfree protein muffins with curd are definitely a good choice!

    For the curd muffins without flour and sugar, you need almost the same ingredients as for the "regular" cake: low-fat quark, a sweetener, eggs, and dry ingredients in the form of semolina or almonds. I have, of course, omitted the butter 😉 .

    Half of the curd is replaced with cream cheese. This results in better consistency. The low-calorie curd muffins are sweetened with erythritol or xylitol. (Of course, regular sugar is theoretically also possible). I supplement the semolina with protein powder, so you get delicious protein muffins with curd.

    How to make the Curd Muffins

    Let's start by preheating the oven to 350°F/175°C. Now, beat erythritol and eggs for a few minutes until foamy, then mix well with curd and cream cheese until smooth. After this, mix the dry ingredients and stir briefly but vigorously into the curd cream. Fold in a few berries if desired.

    Then, spoon the mixture into silicone or paper cups, smooth out and bake for 17-20 minutes. Attention: Do not overbake, or they may get a little dry. Let the muffins cool in the turned-off oven with the door ajar if necessary. Decorate with fruit before serving, if desired and enjoy your summer-body-approved curd muffins!

    Recipe Recommendation

    Vanilla Protein Cake

    No flour, sugar and butter, but very moist and rich in protein: this fitness cake with vanilla protein tastes delicious!

    The protein powder must be a sweetened multi-component protein of whey and casein. You can choose the flavor, e.g. vanilla, lemon, or cookie. If you don't want to use protein powder, you can also use (in total) 80g of semolina or almonds.

    Prep Time10 mins
    Baking Time20 mins
    Calories: 91kcal

    Ingredients

    • 80 grams (7 tablespoons) erythritol, or xylitol
    • 2 eggs, medium
    • 250 grams (1 cup) low fat curd
    • 30 grams (⅓ cup) vanilla protein powder
    • 50 grams (⅓ cup) semolina, or ground almonds
    • ½ teaspoon baking powder
    • 250 grams (1 cups) low fat cream cheese, with 0.2% fat
    • fruit, to taste

    Instructions

    • Preheat oven to 350°F/175°C. Beat erythritol and eggs for a few minutes until foamy. Mix well with curd and cream cheese until smooth.
    • Mix the dry ingredients and stir briefly but vigorously into the curd cream. Fold in a few berries if desired.
    • Spoon the mixture into silicone or paper cups, smooth out and bake for 17-20 minutes. Do not overbake, or they may get a little dry.

    Ingredient substitutions

    Do you want to replace some ingredients? Here you find tips for baking ingredient substitutions!

    Variations

    For the glutenfree, low carb alternative, simply replace the semolina with blanched, ground almonds. Even my most critical test eaters 😉, have eaten the healthy curd muffins with pleasure and didn't notice a difference between the two alternatives.

    Even though it should be obvious: Please don't expect super low-calorie quark muffins without flour, sugar, and fat to have the same mind-blowing taste as regular cheesecake muffins. That's simply not possible when you look at the ingredients. Nevertheless, the low carb muffins with curd and protein do not remind me of crispbread or dry salad. On the contrary 🙂 ! By the way, the fruity decoration is optional but definitely recommended. Because, like the "big relative", healthy curd semolina muffins, unfortunately, fall in a little after baking.
