Description

Delight in these Double Chocolate Chip Cottage Cheese Muffins that perfectly combine rich chocolate flavor with a moist, tender crumb thanks to creamy cottage cheese and a blend of wholesome ingredients. These muffins are a wholesome treat ideal for breakfast or a snack, offering a protein boost from cottage cheese and chocolate protein powder, sweetened naturally with coconut sugar and honey or maple syrup.

Ingredients

Dry Ingredients

  • 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 scoop chocolate protein powder
  • 1/2 cup coconut sugar
  • 1 1/2 teaspoons baking powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt

Wet Ingredients

  • 2 eggs
  • 1 cup cottage cheese
  • 1/3 cup coconut oil (or any oil of your choice)
  • 1/3 cup honey or maple syrup
  • 1/2 cup milk

Add-ins

  • 1/2 cup chocolate chips

Instructions

  1. Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (180°C) and prepare a muffin tin by lining it with paper liners or lightly greasing it to prevent sticking.
  2. Blend Cottage Cheese: Put the cottage cheese into a blender or food processor and blend until smooth and creamy to ensure the muffins have a soft, even texture without curds.
  3. Combine Wet Ingredients: In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the blended cottage cheese, eggs, coconut sugar, honey or maple syrup, and coconut oil until the mixture becomes smooth and well combined.
  4. Add Dry Ingredients: Add the flour, chocolate protein powder, baking powder, baking soda, and salt to the wet mixture and gently fold together with a spatula just until combined, being careful not to overmix to maintain a tender crumb.
  5. Incorporate Milk: Stir in the milk until fully blended and the batter has a thick, chocolatey consistency.
  6. Add Chocolate Chips: Fold in the chocolate chips, reserving a few to sprinkle on top of the muffins before baking for an attractive finish.
  7. Fill Muffin Cups: Evenly divide the batter among the muffin cups, filling each one to the top. Sprinkle the reserved chocolate chips on top for extra appeal.
  8. Bake: Bake in the preheated oven for about 30 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean or with a few moist crumbs but no wet batter.
  9. Cool and Serve: Allow the muffins to cool on a wire rack before serving to maximize texture and flavor enjoyment.

Notes

  • Using blended cottage cheese creates a smoother batter and prevents curds in the muffins.
  • Adjust the sweetness by choosing either honey or maple syrup according to your preference.
  • Oils can be substituted with your favorite neutral oil if coconut oil is not available.
  • Store muffins in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days or freeze for longer storage.
  • For a gluten-free variation, substitute all-purpose flour with a gluten-free baking blend.
