Method
 

Baking Instructions:
  1. Step 1: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). This ensures that your muffins bake evenly.
  2. Step 2: In your high-speed blender, combine the cottage cheese, mashed bananas, peanut butter, melted coconut oil, maple syrup, eggs, and vanilla extract. Blend until smooth and creamy.
  3. Step 3: In a mixing bowl, whisk together the whole wheat pastry flour, baking soda, and kosher salt. This ensures that the baking soda is evenly distributed throughout the flour.
  4. Step 4: Pour the blended wet mixture into the bowl with the dry ingredients. Gently fold the two mixtures together with a silicone spatula until just combined. Be careful not to overmix!
  5. Step 5: Gently fold in the chocolate chips until evenly distributed throughout the batter.
  6. Step 6: Scoop the batter into your prepared muffin tin, filling each cup about 3/4 full to allow room for rising.
  7. Step 7: Place the muffin tin in the preheated oven and bake for 18-22 minutes, or until the tops are golden and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
  8. Step 8: Once baked, remove the muffins from the oven and let them cool in the tin for 5 minutes. Then transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely. Enjoy warm with a drizzle of peanut butter for an extra treat!

Notes

  • Make sure your bananas are very ripe for maximum sweetness and flavor.
  • For a healthier option, reduce the amount of chocolate chips or use dark chocolate for a richer taste.
  • If you prefer a fluffier muffin, you can sift the flour before mixing it in.
  • These muffins freeze well; simply wrap them individually and store them in an airtight container.
