Instructions

Heat 1 tablespoon of avocado oil in a large skillet over medium heat.
Add the ground breakfast sausage and cook for 2 minutes. Stir in maple syrup, bell pepper, cumin, onion powder, and ½ teaspoon sea salt, then cook for another 2 minutes.
Reduce heat to medium-low and add the remaining avocado oil.
Add the whisked eggs, remaining sea salt, and pepper, then cook until just done. Remove from heat and set aside.
In a large bowl, combine flour, blended cottage cheese, baking powder, and sea salt. Stir until mixed, then press together until a ball forms.
On a floured surface, knead the dough until smooth, adding flour if needed to reduce stickiness.
Divide the dough into 8 equal pieces and roll each into a 5-inch circle.
Scoop ⅓ cup of the sausage egg mixture into the center of each circle, top with 2 tablespoons of cheese, and fold edges to seal.
Spray a large nonstick skillet and heat over medium heat.
Place stuffed muffins seam side down and cook for 1-2 minutes, flip and cook for another 1-2 minutes. Repeat until all are cooked.
