Servings: 12
Ingredients
Dry ingredients
- 1 2/3 cup white whole wheat flour
- 1 tsp baking soda
- 1 tsp baking powder
- 2 tsp cinnamon
- 1/4 tsp salt
- 1/2 cup mini chocolate chips or chopped nuts optional
Wet ingredients
- 1 cup cottage cheese full-fat
- 2 bananas ripe, very spotty
- 1/4 cup avocado oil or other neutral oil
- 1/2 cup honey
- 2 eggs
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees F, arrange rack to middle position. Prepare a 12-muffin pan with muffin liners.
- Add all dry ingredients (except chocolate chips/nuts) to a large bowl, whisk to combine, set aside.
- To a high speed blender add cottage cheese, banana, milk, oil, honey, eggs and vanilla. Blend until smooth. You can also do this in a separate bowl with an immersion blender.
- Add wet ingredients to dry, using a rubber spatula to get all the wet ingredients mixture out of the blender.
- Mix wet and dry ingredients until just combined, fold in chocolate chips last. Avoid over-mixing.
- Divide muffin batter evenly into prepared tins.
- Bake for 18-22 minutes or until the tops are golden brown and a toothpick inserted into the muffin comes out clean. Cool for 5 minutes in the pan before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.
Notes
Make sure to use very ripe bananas. Underripe banana will give these muffins a dense texture and flat, glossy top.
