Description
Deliciously moist and fluffy muffins made with overripe bananas and chocolate chips.
Ingredients
Scale
- 3 large overripe bananas (1 cup mashed)
- 1 cup cottage cheese (I used 4%)
- 1/4 cup milk of choice (used 2%)
- 2 large eggs
- 1/3 cup cane sugar (light brown, coconut sugar, or honey is also fine)
- 1/4 cup coconut oil
- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
- 1 pinch of salt
- 1/3 cup mini chocolate chips (plus 2 tbsp for topping)
- Cooking spray
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F and line a muffin pan with cupcake liners and lightly grease it with cooking spray.
- Add the 1 cup cottage cheese and 1/4 cup milk of choice to a small blender and blend until smooth.
- Pour the mixture into a bowl, then add the mashed 3 large overripe bananas, 2 large eggs, 1/3 cup cane sugar, 1/4 cup coconut oil, and 2 teaspoons vanilla extract. Whisk until everything is well combined.
- In a separate bowl, mix together the 2 cups all-purpose flour, 1 teaspoon baking powder, 1/2 teaspoon baking soda, and a pinch of salt.
- Add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture and stir until just combined. Fold in the 1/3 cup mini chocolate chips.
- Divide the batter evenly into the muffin pan, then sprinkle a few extra chocolate chips on top.
- Bake for 18 to 20 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
- Let the muffins cool for about 5 minutes, then serve and enjoy.
Notes
- Make sure to mash the bananas well for a smoother batter.
- Feel free to use other types of mix-ins like nuts or dried fruits.
