Step 1
•Preheat oven to 400 F (200 C). Line 12 muffin cups with paper liners.
•In a large bowl, whisk together flours, sugar, baking powder, salt, basil and baking soda until combined.
•Stir in cheddar cubes.
•In a medium bowl, whisk together cottage cheese, eggs and butter until smooth.
•Stir wet ingredients into flour mixture just until well combined and no dry spots remain; stir in sweet pepper (batter will be very thick).
•Spoon batter into muffin cups, dividing evenly.
•Spoon 1 tsp (5 mL) pizza sauce on top of each muffin; sprinkle each with shredded mozzarella.
•Bake about 20 minutes, until golden and a toothpick inserted in centre of one of middle muffins comes out clean.
•Let muffins cool in pan at least 5 minutes before removing, then let cool completely on a wire rack. (Freeze muffins in an airtight container for up to 1 month; defrost at room temperature.)
