Description

These Chocolate Chip Cottage Cheese Muffins combine the richness of cottage cheese with the sweetness of chocolate chips, resulting in a moist, fluffy, and nutritious treat. Perfect for breakfast or a snack, these muffins are packed with protein and offer a delicious twist on a classic favorite.

Ingredients

  • For the muffins:

  • 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour

  • 1/2 cup granulated sugar

  • 1 tablespoon baking powder

  • 1/4 teaspoon salt

  • 2 large eggs

  • 1 cup cottage cheese (preferably full-fat)

  • 1/4 cup unsalted butter, melted

  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

  • 1/2 cup mini chocolate chips (or regular-sized)

Optional:

  • 1/4 teaspoon cinnamon (for added warmth)

Instructions

  • Preheat the oven: Set your oven to 375°F (190°C) and grease a 12-cup muffin tin or line it with paper liners.

  • Mix the dry ingredients: In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder, salt, and cinnamon (if using).

  • Mix the wet ingredients: In a large bowl, whisk together the eggs, cottage cheese, melted butter, and vanilla extract until fully combined.

  • Combine wet and dry ingredients: Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, stirring gently until just combined. Do not overmix.

  • Fold in the chocolate chips: Gently fold the chocolate chips into the batter.

  • Fill the muffin tin: Divide the batter evenly among the muffin cups, filling each about 2/3 full.

  • Bake: Place the muffins in the oven and bake for 18-20 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted comes out clean with a few crumbs.

  • Cool and serve: Let the muffins cool in the pan for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely. Enjoy warm or at room temperature!

Notes

For a lower-calorie version, try substituting whole wheat flour and reducing the sugar.You can swap the chocolate chips for other varieties like white chocolate or peanut butter chips.Make these muffins dairy-free by using a dairy-free cottage cheese alternative and butter substitute.Adding nuts like walnuts or almonds can provide a nice crunch
