Cottage cheese keeps the muffins fluffy and rich, while chocolate chips add the perfect amount of sweetness. These muffins are easy to make, great for meal prep, and ideal for breakfast, snacking, or even a light dessert.

Ingredients

  • 1 cup cottage cheese (full-fat or low-fat)
  • 2 eggs
  • 1/4 cup honey or maple syrup
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1/4 cup milk (or Greek yogurt for extra creaminess)
  • 1 1/2 cups all-purpose or whole wheat flour
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon cinnamon (optional)
  • 1/2 cup mini chocolate chips

Instructions

Step 1: Preheat Oven

Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a muffin tin with paper liners or grease with cooking spray.

Step 2: Blend Wet Ingredients

In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the cottage cheese, eggs, honey (or maple syrup), vanilla extract, and milk until smooth.

Step 3: Combine Dry Ingredients

In a separate bowl, mix the flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, and cinnamon (if using).

Step 4: Mix Batter

Gradually fold the dry ingredients into the wet mixture, stirring gently until just combined. Do not overmix.

Step 5: Add Chocolate Chips

Fold in the chocolate chips, reserving a few to sprinkle on top.

Step 6: Fill Muffin Cups

Divide the batter evenly among the muffin cups, filling each about 3/4 full. Sprinkle additional chocolate chips on top if desired.

Step 7: Bake

Bake for 18-22 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.

Step 8: Cool & Serve

Let the muffins cool in the pan for 5 minutes, then transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely. Enjoy warm or at room temperature!
