Ingredients: 1 cup cottage cheese (full-fat works best, I like Good Culture); 2 large eggs; 1/3 cup maple syrup (or honey); 1 tsp vanilla extract; 1/4 cup melted coconut oil; 1 cup all-purpose flour (or 1:1 gluten-free flour blend such as Bob’s Red Mill or King Arthur’s); 1 tsp baking powder; 1/2 tsp cinnamon (optional); 1/4 tsp salt; 1/2 cup mini chocolate chips + more for topping

Instructions

Preheat oven to 350°F and line a muffin tin with liners or grease with oil or butter.
In a blender add in the cottage cheese, eggs, maple syrup, vanilla, and melted coconut oil. Blend until creamy.
In a small bowl, mix together the flour, baking powder, cinnamon, and salt. Then, pour in the cottage cheese mixture and mix until just combined-don’t over mix.
Fold in the chocolate chips last.
Divide the batter evenly into 12 muffin liners (they’ll be about ¾ full).
Bake for 18-20 minutes, or until muffins are golden and a toothpick inserted comes out clean.
Let cool for a few minutes before enjoying—or eat one warm while the chocolate is still melty!
