Instructions

Preheat the oven to 375°F and prepare a 12-cup muffin pan with liners or nonstick spray.
In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, salt, garlic powder, and crushed red pepper flakes; set aside.
In a large bowl, mix the cooled melted butter, cottage cheese, milk, and eggs until smooth; stir in zucchini, carrots, and green onions.
Combine the dry ingredients with the wet ingredients, stirring gently until just mixed; fold in cheddar cheese, bacon, and Parmesan.
Divide the batter among the muffin cups, sprinkling a little flaky sea salt on top of each.
Bake for 18 to 22 minutes until golden and a toothpick inserted comes out clean.
Cool in the pan for 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack. Serve warm with butter.
